THE VOICE OF A
SERVANT / LEADER
FROM THE FIELD.

“It was a humbling but blessed oppor-
tunity to volunteer my time during this
COVID-19 Pandemic. I was motivated
to collect the much needed KN95
masks from PIP Al Brandel. With
PDG Barbara Moody, LCIF Coordi-
nator as my lead, i advanced the pre-
paratory groundwork by contacting
the Second Vice President and Chief
Operations Officer of Brooklyn Health
Systems. About 900 face masks were
delivered to Kingsbrook, Brookdale
and Interfaith Hospitals.

It was heartwarming to return to the
Dental Clinic at Kingsbrook Jewish
Medical Center and present 100 masks
to Mr. Vincent Masud, the Service
Administrator. This was the site for
my internship as a young dental assis-
tant where services are provided for
impoverished families.

On a more personal level, I am grate-
ful that PDG Barbara and I dropped
off 200 face masks at Forest Hills Sen-
ior Care Center where my 87 year old
mother resides and receives care. This
donation is critical since these facili-
ties house one of the most vulnerable
populations for COVID-19 infections
and fatalities.

We have scheduled a delivery of the
last 300 KN95 face masks to Mount
Sinai Hospital in NYC. Based on first-
hand information from Lion President
Astrid Castillo (Brooklyn Caribe
Lions Club), there is a dire shortage
of this PPE.

I am so grateful for the opportunity
to represent my club, my district and
LCI as a servant leader.
“We Serve because Kindness Mat-
ters!”.
