The Fond du Lac Evening Lions provide services to community, state and international projects to help those in need have a better life through vision, hearing, handicapped or other projects that help those less fortunate than ourselves.

 

Medical Equipment

The Fond du Lac Evening Lions along with the Van Dyne Lions will be operating a new medical equipment loan locker at the Van Dyne Lions Park at 700 E. Lone Elm Rd. in Van Dyne.  The locker will be open Tuesdays from 3 to 5 p.m. and Saturdays from 9 a.m to noon.  Medical equipment will be offered to the public free of charge for as long as the person requires it.  The locker will open November 12th.  Information can be found on the locker's website westlakemedicallocker.org.
