Denver Lions Club pitched a tent during lunchtime on the 16th Street Mall last Tuesday. Six DLC members (Chuck Anderson, Brian Heider, Myrna Ann Adkins, Mark Williamson, Steve, and President Susy Osorio Kinsky) and Joshua Pruyn from Savio House each participated for from 2-3 hours hobnobbing with passersby about the Club.
Most of the conversation had to do with Recycle for Sight. Myrna Ann and Susy both dressed in sandwich boards and silly large eyeglasses to get the attention of 16th Street frequenters and others who were downtown at noon. Several expressed interest in knowing where to drop off eyeglasses and in perhaps attending one of our luncheon meetings.
Visible Tuesdays are an idea of President Susy’s to heighten awareness and recognition of the Club’s endeavors, with the ultimate intent being to recruit new members into the Club and expand our wherewithal for doing service. Flyers that mention the Club’s various projects and contain a QR code that provides immediate access to the DLC’s website were handed out to inquisitive passersby
. 
The event also presented participants with an opportunity to interact with each other about community outreach. At one point, Susy and Brian were overheard discussing ideas that Brian had about news releases to various media outlets in the area concerning substantive Club activities with community impact.
The next Service Tuesday will be on November 20. With ample time for preparation and recruitment, it’s hoped that more members will turn out. To have an impact, Visible Tuesdays will require participation from as many members as possible.
