significant amount of income from the license plate sales each year. Fifty percent (50%) of
the income from the license plate sales helps support the future financial security of the
Foundation. The other 50% of the income goes to support Low Vision Montana. LVM has
established an information toll free number (800-601-5004) that serves the Foundation and all Lions
Clubs in Montana. The message service refers individuals that need help or information, to the
Foundation or to your Lions Club. LVM is working to acquire and equip a mobile unit that will
travel the State of Montana and provide help to those in medical need.
