Establish a New Lions Eye Bank

Here are some general guidelines for forming a new Lions eye bank:

Determine interest and support of a new Lions eye bank from the established medical community, e.g. a hospital or university school of medicine’s department of ophthalmology
Determine support of your district or multiple district
Follow Board Policy for the Lions Clubs International Eye Bank Program
Determine a budget for the ongoing operation of a Lions eye bank
Contact the Legal Division at Lions Clubs International for authorization to use the Lions name and/or emblem
Elect a board of directors from among Lions in good standing
