District 12-N will be offering a Remote Area Medical event on April 13, 14, and 15, 2012 at the Bristol Motor Speedway in Bristol, TN.  During the clinic in October 2010 we were very much in need of additional eye care professionals. 

All Lions Clubs in District 12-N and Southwest Virginia are being asked to help  recruit professional volunteers:  Ophthalmologists, Optometrists, and Opticians. 

What is needed from Lions:   

• Appoint a committee to PERSONALLY contact your local area vision professionals.  Ask them to consider helping with this worthy cause.  (Download a letter to share with potential volunteers).  
• These contacts need to be completed no later than the first week of December.  Having worked this last year, I know that it takes PERSONAL contact with these professionals. 
•  SAVE THE DATES ~ April 13, 14, and 15, 2012.  They DO NOT have to work all three days to participate. 
• In the letter to download, I have asked for the professional to send me their information. It would be extremely helpful to me if you could also send a list of potential volunteers.  This way I can contact you if I have not received information from them.
• Send the list of those professionals who are volunteering and their email addresses to: Lee Bryan, RAM Vision Chairperson at bryansdesigns@aol.com

Applications for this event will be available after the first of the year.  I will contact everyone at that time.  RAM does all scheduling for this event.  Once the applications are processed, RAM will send out confirmation letter to all volunteers.

Although RAM would like our eye professionals to work for the full day we will take whatever time they are able to help.  Nonprofessional volunteers are needed as well.  RAM does ask that these volunteer be able to work the complete day.  Volunteer will need to arrive about 6:00 a.m. and work approximately twelve hour day on Friday and/or Saturday.  Sunday is a shorter day of about six to eight hours.
