NORTHWOOD IN TOUCH Our club is a satellite for Northwood In Touch, a personal response system to be used in emergencies. We install and service two different units, one that is used in conjunction with the regular telephone, and one that replaces the regular telephone. This unit has personal reminders that can be programmed into the unit, such as reminding the client to take medication, when a home care worker is coming, etc. As well as being a valuable service activity, this is a fund-raiser for our club as we get fees for installation and monthly maintenance per unit. For additional information about these units, contact: VON SAFETY CHECK IN PROGRAM Our club is participating in another VON program. Every Monday, between 9 am and noon, a club member calls a list of clients who have signed up for this program. Other groups and organizations call the other six days of the week. The goal of the program is to check in with seniors living alone to see if they are alright. For information about this program call Lesley Taylor at 624-0318 or Kathy Uhlman at 624-1897.

Used postage stamps can be given to any member of a Lions Club. VIAL OF LIFE PROGRAM This is a project which involves providing vials in which medication information is stored. These vials are stored in the upper right part of the bridge and a decal on the door to the house tells emergency staff that there is a vial in the fridge containing pertinent medical information , a list of medications, family doctor, etc. All funding for this program was raised by way of corporate sponsorship. Vials are now available for distribution.
