DISTRICT 20-K1 T.E.A.L COMMITTEE

September is National Ovarian Cancer Awareness Month and TEAL is the color
that symbolizes Ovarian Cancer.

On September 8, Lion Eileen Freeman, ( Brooklyn Midwood Lions Club, and
Chairperson of District 20-K1 T.E.A.L Committee), partnered with the T.E.A.L
Organization and a group of 13 Lions from various clubs. They tied teal colored
ribbons around trees along Fifth Avenue in Park Slope and distributed
informational posters to be displayed in the show windows of business places.
Their goal is to raise awareness in the community and to “Tell Every Amazing
Lady” about Ovarian Cancer. It is important for women to know that Ovarian
Cancer is a disease that can strike without warning or cause. THERE IS NO
EFFECTIVE SCREENING TEST FOR OVARIAN CANCER. THE PAP SMEAR DOES
NOT TEST FOR OVARIAN CANCER.
Channel 12 News was present to capture the Lions “Serving from The Heart”.
This service project was broadcast on said TV Station throughout the evening.
Lion Eileen sincerely thanks the Lions for supporting the T.E.A.L Organization.
Special kudos to Lions Patricia Muir, Aurea Gonzalez, Helen Dlezeuski and Isa
Hamilton ( East New York Lions Club), Lions Yolande Cadore and Jennifer
Lion Doreen ties a ribbon around the Parsons ( Brooklyn Crown Heights Lions Club), Lions Rosalind Gomes and
old oak tree Delmira Henry (Brooklyn Midwood Lions Club) and Lions Pamela Taylor, Faye
Carter, Doreen Thomas and Joycelyn Matheson (Central Brooklyn Lions Club)
