The We Care Vet Fair at the Cobb County Civic Center was a great opportunity for our brave veterans to find resources that may be helpful to them. It was also a chance to fellowship and celebrate with other veterans. One example was us applauding when an 102 year old WWII veteran arrived at the fair.

Free haircuts, flu vaccines and vision screenings were available. We appreciate the East Cobb, Woodstock, Atlanta Latino, Smyrna Jonquil and South Cobb Lions Clubs who greeted the veterans and conducted the 147 vision screenings.

Other free services were provided including groceries supplied by Sweetwater Mission. We appreciate the We Care management and staff for their hard work in putting this great event together.

The Atlanta Latino, Atlanta Metro, East Cobb and South Cobb Lions worked together to conduct vision screenings on approximately 350 students at Usher-Collier Elementary School. We logged in each student’s results on a new GLF website that will follow the student’s progress towards getting their eyeglasses. The new system worked well. We appreciate the staff for being knowledgeable and and efficient.

At the South Cobb Lions Club meeting, President Pam Williams presented a letter of appreciation from VetDog. We enjoyed a delicious dinner prepared by RC Catering. We were also treated to Tail Twister Lester and his “corny” scarecrow ventriloquist act getting us ready for the Halloween.

The South Cobb Lions Club conducted their annual sorting of eyeglasses collected during the course of the year. These thousands of sorted eyeglasses will be delivered to the GA Lions Lighthouse so that they can arrange for transportation of the eyeglasses to under developed areas across the globe. The people receiving these eyeglasses are very grateful for the old eyeglasses that Lions collect in the US.

Keep Cobb Beautiful and Cobb Co Water had their Household Hazardous Waste event at Jim Miller Park. Over 900 cars came through to drop off old paint, chemicals, fertilizer and other items that they do not end up in our soil or waterways. Do you know that latex paint is recyclable? We appreciate volunteers such as Hillgrove High School’s Honor Students, the South Cobb Lions Club and others who worked hard to make the event a success. We are also grateful to the Cobb Sheriff Dept for doing a fantastic job directing traffic. Afterwards, all of us celebrated with delicious Chick-Fil-A sandwiches and salads.

We extend our sincere appreciation to the First Christian Church of Mableton (FCCM) for hosting this year’s Faith & Blue celebration honoring our courageous law enforcement officers. Due to the threat of severe weather, the event—originally planned as a unity walk/parade featuring the Pebblebrook High School Marching Band—was moved indoors to the church sanctuary.

Members of the Mableton Pastors Collective, including FCCM Executive Minister Barry Smith, Vision for Souls Pastor Kendall, FCCM Pastor Andy Daniell, and Vision for Souls’ Kelleita Thurman, offered powerful and heartfelt prayers for our officers and for the entire Mableton community.

FCCM's Barry shared the national history and impact of the Faith & Blue movement, noting that 236 Faith & Blue events are scheduled across Georgia this year. This makes Georgia the second highest state behind Tennessee with the number of celebrations.

Atlanta Detective and Vision For Souls Church member, Kelleita Thurman delivered a moving reflection on why she launched the Faith & Blue initiative in Mableton in 2020. She reminded us of her guiding principles: “All Souls Matter” and “Blessed are the Peacemakers.”

Precinct Two's Captain Piper spoke about her extensive background, including service in the Gang and Homicide Units and assignments throughout Cobb County—every district except Kennesaw. Several speakers, including Captain Piper, were proud graduates of McEachern High School.

The spirit of the gathering was unmistakable: everyone in attendance deeply values and supports our law enforcement heroes.

Edward Phillips from the City of Refuge was the featured speaker at the Atlanta Lions Club meeting. He told us how the nonprofit was founded by Pastor Bruce Deel who was sent to this area of Atlanta as a six month temporary assignment. Once he saw the immense need in the community, he stayed permanently.

Did you know that if you are born in poverty in Atlanta, you only have a 4% chance of escaping poverty? If the same people are provided with the proper education, job training, health training, financial literacy and temporary housing, they have a 93% chance of escaping poverty. At the City of Refuge, you are given that opportunity with an Individual Service Plan (ISP) tailored for each guest with a goal of transitioning to independent living.

In 2025, there were almost 14,000 housing requests. Less than 1,000 people were housed. They have a certified school on their eight acre facility for the 165 kids from kindergarten to twelfth grade.

All residents receive three hot meals a day, medical services, mental health counseling, school/job training. Last year 607 guests were placed into jobs. Recently, a small grocery store was constructed.

The most impressive statistic is that there was zero recidivism. The City of Refuge is doing wonderful work getting people out of poverty. Please check out their website at cityofrefuge.org to learn more.

The Atlanta Lions Club b hosted a terrific meeting at the American Legion. During their meeting, they reviewed many of their September projects such as the Ironman Competition in Chattanooga, the Sandwich Project where they assembled 1,000 sandwiches for distribution to impoverished areas of Atlanta, their eyeglass cleaning at the Lighthouse “Service & Social”.

They also discussed upcoming projects such as a vision clinic in Columbus, GA, European Youth Exchange Conference and City of Refuge school vision screening.

They had a couple of visitors including a former youth exchange student and Zone A Chairman Barry Krebs.

A big highlight of the meeting was Jim Jarrell earning his Mission 1.5 Chevron for sponsoring two new Lions.

Afterwards, we were treated to an excellent presentation by Edward Phillips with the City of Refuge.

Lions Club International Representatives and sponsors attended the Georgia Lions Lighthouse follow up with the students who failed the screenings from Lions earlier in the week. They witnessed the students choosing their own eyeglass frames. They also had an opportunity to see screenings for students who were missed early in the week. They were also treated to a very nice tour of Bunche Middle School by Nurse Rachael. We made a special point of showing the sponsors our sincere appreciation for their support.
