Whenever a Lions Club gets together, problems get smaller and communities get better. That's because Lions help wherever help is needed - in our local communities and around the world - with unmatched energy and integrity.

"You are legally blind." With these four words Lion Jim Hindman, renowned entrepreneur and founder of Jiffy Lube International, faced the biggest challenge of his life at age 57 when he was diagnosed with macular degeneration, an age-related progressive disease that leads, eventually, to blindness. Throughout his successful career, Hindman always met challenges head-on, but nothing prepared him for the impact of macular degeneration. Fearlessly embarking on a more than 20 year exploration with multiple physicians throughout the United States, Hindman refused to give up until he found a way back through the darkness; innovative new medical procedures and technologies ultimately restored his vision after he successfully underwent surgery for the implantable miniature telescope.
In the book, Lion Jim Hindman shares his remarkable journey to recovery, his setbacks, and dramatic achievements. Woven throughout his inspirational account is a rags-to-riches story featuring many of the lessons he learned as kid on the streets of Sioux City, shining shoes and selling newspapers, to become a self-made millionaire by 35.

and how to access FCC Meetings; however, some information is also
provided to assist ZOOMusers wanting to access ZOOM meetings.)
Introduction to Virtual Meetings:
Virtual Audio Meetings can be accessed by anyone. Smart Phones can access a meeting by using internet or Dial-Up connections; and Computers having a headset, or speakers and a microphone, can access a meeting by using Internet connections. Landline phones (having toll free long distance service) and "dumb" mobile phones can only access a meeting by using a Dial-Up connection.
Virtual Video Meetings can be accessed through "Internet" Connections by Smart Phones or Computers that have cameras. Smart Phones can access the Internet using either their phone provider's DATA service or like Computers, they can access the Internet through an internet Service Provider.
There are actually five different ways to join a Free Conference Call (FCC) Virtual Meeting. To learn about each of them, read the: "Five Ways to Join a Virtual Meeting".
Easy to follow preparation instructions are provided for our members, and we are asking each of you to Register and Prepare your devices by following steps #1 through #3 below; however, if you don't intend to host a (Club, Board, Committee or Other) meeting, or if you don't want to be able to see who is attending a meeting, or if you don't want to have the ability to "privately chat" with any of the other members in attendance, you can skip registration and device preparation and go directly to step #4, where you can simply learn How to Participate in Virtual Meetings, without installing Computer Software or Smart Phone APPS, or while using unpreparable devices such as your landline phone or "dumb" mobile phone.
Please be aware that Registered members using Prepared devices will be able to utilize ALL of the Free Conference Call features; AND they will be easily identifiable both when they join and throughout a meeting. This contrasts with Unregistered members using Unprepared deviceswho will NOT be able to utilize ALL the features of Free Conference Call; AND who will require special attention to identify them every time they join a meeting. This is necessary to record attendance and to insure that only Club Members or Invited Guests are admitted and allowed to remain during the meeting.
Unregistered attendees present a Privacy and Security Risk because they can only be identified by a phone number. Since phone numbers can be "spoofed" by others, or designated as "private or unpublished" by their owners, these participants may not be identifiable during a meeting, or they may only be identifiable by the sound of their voice, when or if they speak.As a result, Anonymous and Silent Attendees WILLbe disconnected if the Host is unable to identify them.

Important Club Tax Reminder:
Please remember that ALL Lions Clubs, Districts and Multiple Districts that have annual gross receipts less than $50,000 and do not have to file Form 990 or 990-EZ, must file the e-Postcard (also known as 990-N). Please note that this is an IRS requirement. Please refer to the following chart regarding annual filing requirements:
Beginning in 2010 Tax Year (and each year thereafter)
Form to File
Gross receipts normally less than $50,000
990-N
Gross receipts greater than $50,000 and less than
$200,000, and Total Assets less than $500,000
990-EZ or 990
Gross receipts greater than $200,000
or Total assets greater than $500,000
990
The e-Postcard is due by the 15th day of the fifth month after the close of your tax year. Lions Clubs operate on a fiscal year, July 1 – June 30, andthe e-Postcard will be due by November 15th each year. Please note that an organization cannot request an extension for filing the Form 990-N.
If you do not file, you risk losing your tax-exempt status. Any Lions Club that fails to meet its annual reporting requirement for three consecutive years automatically loses its tax exempt status under the new law. A club may get reinstated if they complete an application for recognition of exemption even if they originally fell under a group exemption. Every Club and/or District must have an employer identification number (EIN), even if it will not have employees. The EIN is a unique number that identifies the organization to the Internal Revenue Service. To apply for an EIN, you should obtain a Form SS-4 and its Instructions from the IRS. You may also apply for an EIN online, by telephone (1-800-829-4933), or by fax (fax number at the location accepting applications from your state). It is important that the Clubs and Districts are using the correct EIN for their annual filing.
For frequently asked questions about tax issues and regulations affecting Lions clubs and leadership, go to the Lions Tax FAQ. Go to www.irs.gov/eo for complete details and while you're there sign up for Exempt Organization's free email newsletter, EO Update, to receive up-to-date information posted on the charity pages of irs.gov.

Healthcare Equipment Project
Many District 22B Lions Clubs provide a public service by loaning used Healthcare and Disability Equipment to individuals within their communities. They handle a variety of equipment including: Hospital Beds, Wheelchairs, Transport Chairs, Walkers, Rollators, Commodes, Power Lift Recliners, Power Wheelchairs, Crutches, Canes, Feeding Tables and numerous other items. All borrowing is subject to and limited by equipment availability.
If you are looking for equipment, you should contact your Local Lions Club, to find out if they have the equipment that you need. If the local club doesn't have what you are looking for, you can ask them to contact other nearby Lions Clubs to try to find the item(s) for you.
Participating Lions Clubs try to avoid intruding into the areas served by neighboring Clubs, and therefore frequently limit their Healthcare Equipment service to a radius around their local communities; however, many willingly share their inventory with neighboring Lions Clubs, when those Clubs also provide the Healthcare Equipment service.
Participating Lions Club Information
The following table shows the District 22B Lions Clubs that participate in the Healthcare Equipment Project and provides contact information for use by both Lions and members of our communities.
All Lions are volunteers and many work the Healthcare Equipment project into or around their normal jobs and responsibilities; therefore, we emphasize that you can Email us at anytime, but ask that youplease limit your phone calls to the Contact Timesshown below.
(This table is UNDER CONSTRUCTIONand is only a partial listing of participating Clubs.)
** IMPORTANT: You can Email us anytime, but please confine your Phone Calls to the time window shown. If your call is picked up by an answering machine, please leave detailed information about the equipment you need and be sure to include your Name, Address and call-back Phone number.

First and foremost Lions are about service to others. Our motto says it all:
WE SERVE
When it comes to meeting challenges, our response is simple: We serve. In 207 countries, in hospitals and senior centers, in regions battered by natural disaster, in schools and eyeglass recycling centers, Lions are doing community volunteer work,helping, leading, planning and supporting. Because we're local, we can serve the unique needs of the communities we live in. And because we're global, we can address challenges that go beyond borders.
We want everyone to see a better tomorrow. All of the clubs of District 22-B in some manner supportsight programs and services including vision screenings, eye banks, providing glasses to those in need and eyeglass recycling. Lions of 22-B strongly support the Lions Vision Research Foundation that sponsors the Lions Low Vision Project at Johns Hopkins Hospital Wilmer Eye Institute.
We believe everyone deserves a healthy life.From providing health programsthat focus onhearingloss to supporting efforts to control and preventdiabetes, Lions volunteers are working to improve the health of children and adults around the world. Many people on the Eastern Shore work and recreate out of doors. Lions of 22-B are making a special effort at the request of District Governor Doug Jones to be pathways of education about Lyme Disease.
We empower the next generation. Whether it'sproviding youth volunteer opportunities and leadership experiences in a Leo club or sharing a message of peace through our Peace Poster contest, our youth programsinvest in the future by reaching out to young people. Throughout the Eastern Shore Lions support athletic programs, scouting and arts programs for local youth. While helping children Lions also recognize the dedication and importance of the teachers in the schools our children attend.
We serve local communities – and protect the planet.From performing hands-on community work and service projects to providing emergency assistance, ourcommunity and environment programsimprove our communities – and protect the environment. Lions have often helped police and fire departments to ease the pain of victims of crime, fire and disasters. Even though each club is part of the international organization the needs of our home towns is foremost in hearts of Lions. No mater how far up in the organization an international officer may be, he or she became a Lion because another Lion asked them to be part of a local club.
If you are interested in service volunteering, leading projects, networking and having fun – you can do all of this and more as a Lions club member As Lions club member, you’ll join a local group of service-minded men and women who are linked together by a common goal to provide service where it is needed.
