Truckee Lions Free Community Health Fair

    To celebrate its 92nd anniversary, the Truckee Host Lions Club will offer free family health screenings on Saturday, September 28th, 2024 from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m., at the Community Recreation Center, 10981 Truckee Way. 

     The health fair will include free vision, diabetes, and blood pressure screenings; free dental screenings and fluoride treatments for children; and free flu shots while supplies last. 

     Tahoe Forest Pharmacy will offer a free flu shot clinic, and Lions Club will provide vision screenings and free reading glasses to those who may need them. 

     The Truckee CHP and the Truckee Police Department will team up to offer free child safety seat inspections and assistance with installations. The agencies also will give away free child safety seats if a new one is needed, while supplies last.

     Community groups also will have informational booths.

     Anyone with questions can call Truckee Lions at (530) 563-6776.

    "The Truckee Host Lions Club is sponsoring the health fair as a way to give back to the community, said Lou LaManna," club president.

     “The Lions’ slogan is, ‘We Serve,’ and offering free health screenings in our community is great way for our club to do exactly that,” she said.
