Long Island City, New York February 9, 2011 - Operating in 205 countries, in hospitals and senior centers, in regions battered by natural disaster, in schools and in eyeglass recycling centers, Lions are at work, helping, leading, planning and supporting. Lions Club is a long established global organization with 45,000 chapters,  and 1.35 million members.  It consists of  local leaders who want "to serve" the unique needs of the communities they live in.   Its website says that: We're also one of the most effective. We get the job done. "We recently: Brought 3,000 volunteers together to build a playground for children of all abilities in California, USA. Fed 60,000 people in a township in South Africa. It's something Lions do there every day. Sent a team of eye surgeons to Honduras to treat more than 100 adults and children." Marcel Veronneau, CEO of Industrial Management & Training Institute headquartered in Long Island City,  and a long time member of  the Lions Club, has formed a chapter in LIC and is meeting on the second and fourth Wednesday of each month. The LIC Lions Club has already had FOUR BLOOD DRIVES that produce 114 pints of blood. The organization will be presenting its news, calendar, and information at OurLIC and on a future website at LICLions.org OurLIC met with several of the members of this new Chapter, and interviewed Marcel Veronneau.  A video of the interview is presented with this article. HIGHLIGHTS: The Long Island City Lions Club is the oldest club in this Lions Club District. The club is looking for people who want to volunteer to help people in need. The need could be anything from taking care of elderly, hospital care, taking care of blind, people that need food or clothing. Volunteers can be any age...either men or women. As the neighborhood grows, it needs more help. The mission is "to serve". The organization has been supportive of the OurChildren Organization and has also had clothing drives. With the help of Avalon group they have raised six loads of clothing. This month alone, the organization has been collecting clothing. Plans for this year include: 5K Run Car Show One special focus of Lions Clubs is "vision". This month alone, they have collected 350 pair of glasses. Would like to attract young family members because they bring new thinking.       For more information, please contact   Marcel Veronneau Industrial Management & Training Institute 718-786-9328 Founder of LIC Lions Club: Marcel Veronneau, CEO Industrial Management & Training.
