Legacy Society honors families and donors
The Northwest Lions Foundation for Sight & Hearing has introduced the Legacy Society to honor those who have made bequests through estate planning or received gifts of $1,000 or more in their memory. Surviving family members are included in this group.

Aly Smalley, wife of eye bank founder Jack Smalley,
enjoys the Legacy Society tour and luncheon.
The launch took place on August 7th with a tour of our facilities led by Foundation President Monty Montoya. A complimentary luncheon for donors and family members followed. Our special program included the presentation of Legacy Society certificates and lapel pins to distinguish members of this special group.
This same Legacy Society luncheon will take place each August. If you have made a bequest to the Northwest Lions Foundation for Sight & Hearing, be sure to let us know. We also offer a complimentary Planning for the Future booklet that explains estate planning options.
