Lions Club donation~

The Lions Club purchased a new FM transmitter sound system for the hearing impaired and installation was completed today, 6 August 2013. Besides the transmitter, there are four small pocket-size receivers with ear phone that can be purchased from the Lions at $100 each for individual ownership. This system transmits whatever is spoken into the microphones with loud volume and is background noise-free.

This equipment is compatible with that at the Diamondhead church and Dean Hartwell verified that today with his existing receiver. The cost to the Lions was $1095.00. $400 will be recovered when we sell the four receivers. More receivers can be purchased anytime.
