The Joliet Noon Lions Club recently submitted a $1,000 to Lions Club International to aid in humanitarian relief in light of the two destructive storms.
Lions Club International recently sent $100,000 to the hardest hit parts of Texas, Louisiana, and now to Florida to help provide needed life saving food, water, blankets, etc.
In October the Joliet Noon Lions Club is participating in the State of Illinois Candy Day on October 13 and 14, and on October 18, and will conduct a Diabetic Eye Screening at Will/Grundy Medical Center through the clinic by appointment.
