Jenkins Township Lions lauded

Two members of the Jenkins Township Lions Club and the club itself received recognition at a recent meeting. John Baloga, club president, received a Banner Patch and rocker to be included on the club's awards banner. Patch and year rocker were received from the Northeast Pennsylvania Lions Eye Bank to mark the club's contribution to the District Governor's Fair Share Program which was sent to the Eye Bank. Two long-time Eye Bank volunteers, Stephen Vitek and Jack Albert, both were advanced to the Planned Giving Program of the Eye Bank at the Visionary Level. Each Lion member received an engraved Lucite figure of a large tree with their name on it. Vitek and Albert are Life Members of the NEPA Lions Eye Bank and have been actively involved in eye bank projects of obtaining eye donor pledges and collecting used eye glasses.
