New video ideas are in development. A wide variety of informative literature is always available from the Foundation for public distribution. Brochures about Heartland Lions Eye Banks, Eyeglass recycling, Glaucoma, Eye Care Assistance, and Amblyopia are available. This will increase the chances of media coverage at their events, and generate higher public attendance. These news releases are perhaps the most valuable means we have to let the public know about the importance of our work and partnerships.
Articles range from interviews with sight program recipients to changing eye bank regulations.
Announcements about Foundation activities are also included. Each Lions Club member receives a copy of the Missouri Lion. The Missouri Lion newsletter is an excellent way to stay informed about how Lion giving is used to support the Foundation's sight programs. A portable 8 x 12 foot lighted display board and a six foot tabletop display board have been designed to display photographs and information on the programs of the Missouri Lions Eye Research Foundation. These units are excellent aids in attracting attention in public settings and providing general information on the Foundation.
