The "Listen Up!" Program is coming to our District

Sign up for a virtual Listen Up! Preschool Hearing Health Outreach Program Roadshow on Zoom, Thursday, December 11 at 7:00PM.

The Roadshow is an informational overview of the program, which was launched by District 24-C in April 2025. The program is set to expand into 24-L in 2026 with an anticipated launch date of January 2027. This will require a structured rollout, district leadership, and the recruitment and training of more than 200 Lions across 24-L to serve on preschool hearing (and vision) screening teams. We are committing to serving all children ages 2-5 enrolled in daycares, preschools, and other similar programs in every zip code in 24-L. This may be one of the largest programs we've ever established, and with sufficient support, we can make it happen.

We will also be offering in-person Roadshow Events in January, February, and March, in various locations.
All Roadshow Events require registration, allowing us to track attendees and identify which Lions and/or clubs are interested in supporting the initiative. For this Zoom Roadshow, register by 12/9/25 at https://www.eventbrite.com/e/listen-up-virtual-roadshow-for-district-24-l-lions-tickets-1975241302909?aff=oddtdtcreator
If you have trouble registering, email your full name, club name, email address, and phone number to Lion Evelyn Marr at remlik@verizon.net.
The Zoom Link will be emailed to those registered 24-48 hours prior to the Roadshow.
