<br />4 <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />Lions Clubs are best known for their <br />services to the blind and visually impaired, but <br />we are also very active in helping the deaf and <br />hard of hearing. Lions Clubs throughout the <br />state support the Lions 5M International Hearing <br />Center. It is devoted to service, teaching, and <br />research in the area of hearing disorders. The <br />Fairview-University Medical Center houses the <br />Lions 5M International Hearing Center on the <br />University of Minnesota campus in Minneapolis. <br />The center includes a temporal bone library and <br />lab for university students, a voice lab for <br />photographing patients' larynxes and a cochlear <br />implant program for children as young as one <br />year of age. <br />Lions Clubs also support organizations <br />such as Hearing and Service Dogs of <br />Minnesota. This non-profit group is dedicated <br />to helping Minnesotans who are deaf, hard-of- <br />hearing, or disabled to become more <br />independent and self-confident by pairing them <br />with specially trained assistance dogs. <br />Locally, the Ramsey Lions Club has <br />helped families defray the cost of hearing aids <br />for children.

Vehicles parl(ed <br />along the roadway cause the snowplows to go <br />around them, leaving unplowed areas. They <br />also present a danger to plow drivers when <br />visibility is poor. These "snowbirds" are tagged <br />and towed at the owner's expense! Save <br />yourself money and aggravation while you help <br />us provide for safe and efficient snowplowing <br />serVIces. <br /> <br />Snowmobile Article Continued From Page 2 <br />WHO CAN OPERATE A SNOWMOBILE? <br />.
