The hearing aids are recycled through out the Indiana Lions Hearing Aid Loaner Program at Riley Hospital in Indianapolis. They stay in Indiana.
FREE BICYCLE HELMET PROGRAM
Wayne Lodge #14, Fraternal Order of Police is beginning their annual fund drive for the FREE BICYCLE SAFETY HELMET PROGRAM for local children. While no date is set as of press time, it will be in June, and the exact date and time will be published and broadcast as soon as it is available. “Children at play are not always as careful as they should be,” said F.O.P. President Phil Geller, “and that is why we have this program.” “What we are doing is trying to save the lives of children.” “In addition to free helmets, uniform officers from Fort Wayne, New Haven, and Allen County conduct a 45-minute safety class held at Headwaters Park pavilion. We strongly feel that the importance of safety cannot be over stated.” “We have seen time and time again, the tragedy of kids in accidents, and it is absolutely heartbreaking. At least if they are wearing a certified bike helmet, their odds of survival with minimal injury go way up,” concluded Sgt. Geller. To help this worthwhile program, please send your check to: Wayne Lodge #14 F.O.P., 111 Three Rivers East, Fort Wayne, IN 46802 or call 422-6600 for more information.
