The Ormond-by-the-Sea Lions Club kicked off their service in March by celebrating Mardi Gras on March 4.
As the month went on, Lions Jean Cerullo, Bobbie Cheh and Jennifer Helmer assisted at the Christine's Blankets Birthday Party for the Homeless at Our Lady of Lourdes Church on March 15. Christine's Blankets offered a gift, blankets, a cupcake with a candle and ice cream, and members sang Happy Birthday to all in attendance, according to a press release.
Additionally, the club joined the Ormond Beach and South Daytona Lions Clubs in performing 111 blood sugar screenings at the Veterans Stand Down event at the Ocean Center on March 22. The Lions referred 40 people for follow up, based on their glucose readings. They also screened 156 people for vision and referred 61.
The Lions thanked the community for its donations during its White Cane weekend fundraiser at Publix on March 28-29. Fourteen members participated to bring awareness and raise funds for the visually impaired.
