This grant is a result of the work of PCC Bill Taubman who was principal in forming the Wisconsin Lions Missions(WLM) sponsored Lions Emergency Response Team (LERT). The LERT is a described as a group of Wisconsin Lions willing to respond on short notice to natural disasters as they may occur in the US. They work in collaboration with Lions from the affected area doing preventive, clean-up, salvage and repair work. Emergencies to which the LERT would respond are identified by the WLM leadership team. At both the district and state level the WLM leadership would involve ALERT chairs in efforts that might be of interest to both. Go to page 8 of this Newsletter to volunteer and be a part of LERT.
