Lions 2E2 Clubs – How to Schedule Vision Screening with LOEB in 2019-20
We, the Texas District 2-E2 Lions Organ & Eye Bank (LOEB) Board of Directors (BOD), are encouraged by all the clubs participating in vision screening events throughout the district. With the increase in screenings we have also had an increase in demand for vision screening equipment and assistance.
- Requests need to be made on our Lions 2E2 Clubs Vision Screening Request Form.
- Requests need to come from a Lions Club in the district, not an outside organization. This club will be the sponsor of the event and will supply the certified screeners and the volunteers needed for the event.
- The district equipment is housed in a storage facility in Watauga. We will make every effort to make the equipment available to the clubs, but ultimately, it is the club’s responsibility to pick-up and return the equipment in good working order. Loaning of equipment is suspended until social distancing guidelines are lifted and the LOEB Board determines it is safe to resume. Thank you for your patience and understanding.
- If you are requesting a phoropter, the sponsoring club needs to be available to help unload and load the equipment. You clubs responsibility does not end until all equipment is loaded after the event. You also maybe be asked to attend a class or view an instructional video on how to assemble the equipment.
- Small events need to be scheduled at least 30 days in advance.
- Larger events need to be scheduled at least 60 days in advance.
- Events such as with a city or school district need to be scheduled months in advance.
- After your event, you need to email the results from your event to vision-screening@loeb2e2.org.
- You should include the number of Lions, total volunteer hours, total number of people screened, how many were under 5 years old, and how many were referred. This needs to be done in addition to reporting to LCI.
Please Note
- Because we are an eleven-member Board of Directors and are active with our own Lions Clubs, we are asking everyone to understand that we might not be able to assist at your event.
- If you don’t feel comfortable doing the screenings on your own, find a club nearby that does screenings and volunteer to help them at their event. You can also ask one of those clubs to assist you at your event.
- There are also clubs that do monthly events, very large events, or ongoing events that your club could also gain some experience.
- The Board of Directors of the LOEB reserves the right to refuse or limit the equipment that is loaned out.
- Your club will be the sponsor of the event and will need to supply the certified screeners and volunteers needed for the event.
- If your screeners have never done an event or they have not done one in over a year, you may request assistance from the Board.
Thanks for your help and understanding.
