Survey Winners and
Survey Answers

During the spring of 2023, the Rocky Mountain Lions Eye Institute Foundation (RMLEIF) distributed surveys at each Lions District Convention in Wyoming and Colorado to measure awareness and understanding of the Foundation.  All surveys asked the same questions. One survey returned by a Lion in each Wyoming and Colorado Lions district was randomly selected and that person's club received $150 from RMLEIF for its vision programs.


The winning Lions clubs in Colorado were:

District 6C: The Cyber Lions Club,

District 6NE: Fort Collins,

District 6SE: Colorado City-Rye, and

District 6W: Redlands.

The Riverton club won in Wyoming (i.e. in District 15). 

The survey questions and answers appear below. The questions are challenging, but some who filled out the survey did extremely well. Click here to Try the Survey and test your RMLEIF knowledge.
