Espanola "Back to School" Event

The Espanola "Back to School" event in June brought several cheerful volunteers together. Santa Fe Capital City Líons had participated for several years with the Espanola Club , but this year, additional screening services and educational material were provided by the New Mexico Lions Diabetes Awareness Program in the Blue Cross Blue Shield Van with help from Santa Fe Prep Leo Sameera! Free glasses applications and instructions with frame selections were also available. More then 800 backpacks loaded with school supplies were given out and multiple service providers were present with information to share with the parents and guardians.
Thanks to NMLDAP Sandia Mountain volunteers PDG Bobby Richardson and Linda Cuenco who have traveled the state to support and augment community service projects wit diabetes prevention information; Espanola Lion and Nurse Sharon Gerena and Sam Le Doux; Santa Fe Prep Leo Sameera and Capital City Líons Marlene Williams and the Himrods.
