• Eye
Glass Collection
- Chair: Ruth
Coffaa and Jody Morrow - The local banks in Dell Rapids
(Wells Fargo and First National) have drop off buckets set up in their
lobby for glasses collection. The chair people go to each bank to
collect and box up all the eye glasses that have been donated. The box
is then taken to Sioux Falls and dropped off at the Lions Foundation.
They give theeye glasses to VOSH (Volunteer Ophthalmic Services to
Humanity). VOSH then gives the eye glasses to a 3rd world country for
their use.
• Scholarship Award

each year a $1,000 scholarship to college from 1 of the following high
schools: Dells Public, Dells St Mary's or Baltic Public. We work with
the school councilors to get the essay applications out to the
students. The committee reviews the anonymous applications. The winner
is announced and asked to speak at the Lions Club banquet along with
their parents. The winner is also announced at the local Honor Society
Banquet. Once college information is received, a check is sent to that
