The members of the Foothills Lions Club had the privilege of a guided tour of the operational system of STARS, in Calgary.
STARS (the Shock Trauma And Rescue Society), through the support of LIONS, was established in Calgary in 1985. They now have three bases in Alberta - Calgary, Edmonton and Grand Prairie, along with five helicopters. In 2010 they flew 1453 missions, giving a total of more than 19,000 missions.
The Lions logo is proudly displayed on all STARS helicopters in recognition of their contribution of more than $1,880,000.
The next Lions Bingo will be held at the Valley Neighbours Club - Friday, November 11th at 6:30 pm. Hope to see you all there.
