When a group of people joins together and roll up their sleeves and take action on projects to make their community better, it’s a beautiful thing and an incredible feeling for everyone involved. Being a Lion is about leading by example, building relationships and improving the world through kindness.

Miami Buena Vista Biltmore Lions Club | Blessing Bags
Our club provided for and assembled 45 blessing bags for the patients of the Open Door Health Center. The Center serves patients who don’t have health insurance and don’t qualify for government aid. The contents of the blessing bags were donated by club members and comprised toiletries such as soap, deodorant, toothpaste, toothbrushes, nail files, and combs; and health supplies such as vitamins, and first aid supplies, and over-the-counter medications. The monetary value of each blessing bag was approximately $25.00 making the total value of the blessing bags to be $1,125.00.
Supplies that were left over consisting mostly of over-the-counter medications were boxed and also donated to the Health Center to provide to patients on an as-needed basis. The approximate value of these over-the-counter medications was $300.00.
On May 18, 2022, the following club members helped assemble the blessing bags: Teresita San Miguel, Teresa Saumell, Melba Solis, Daniel Pedreira, Natasha Perez, Cathy Triana, and Jose Luis Mir, Natasha Perez’s son. Tony and Mayra Montes had assembled blessing bags previously and were included in the total of the 45 bags. Juan Tejera took all the supplies to the meeting place for assembly. On May 20, 2022, Mr. Rolando Barrios, Clinic and Grants Manager of Open Door Health Center picked up the blessing bags and extra supplies from Natasha Perez’s office. He was extremely grateful to the club for the contribution and said it would go a long way to help the poor patients they serve.

During our MD35 Convention just held in Miami, a prize check was supposed to have been given to the winner. Due to unfortunate circumstances, the check got misplaced and was just found by PID NEIL among other items pertaining to the Convention.
This picture shows Jamilah at my home yesterday when I finally received and presented the check.
Let’s congratulate Jamilah and wish her luck in pursuing advanced art classes in the future.

Miami Lions Club Foundation & Corona Virus
Serving Those in Need
The foundation has just approved a $25,000 grant to buy electronic devices for blind children (mainly talking computers.) Due to the current pandemic, these children will not be able to attend their special classes and without these devices would be cut off from their studies and could fall behind.
This is in addition to $27,300 previously granted for this purpose earlier in the year. It brings total foundation grants in 2020 to various entities to $98300. During the past five years, it has disbursed almost $400,000.
In 1946 Lion Edward Dalton purchased 100 shares of IBM at approximately $900 and donated them to the club. This was a very generous gift because $900 then was equivalent to $13,708 today. His gift carried two stipulations: (1) the money was to be used to start a club foundation, and (2) the stock and subsequent dividends were not to be touched for ten years. He said in his presentation speech "I believe the company has a good future." He was absolutely right. Within ten years it grew to $160,000 including splits.
In 2021 the Miami Lions Club Foundation will celebrate 75 years of service to the blind.
