There Is A Light At The End Of The Tunnel

     Lions, there is a light at the end of the tunnel, and I’m not referring to an oncoming train. That has already passed; didn’t you see its tracks? Many of us now have or are getting vaccinated against COVID, businesses are slowly beginning to open up again, kids are going back to school in person, and mask wearing by responsible Lions is not (or should not be) the political statement it was.  Even the Pendleton Round-Up is roaring back into Pendleton Wednesday to Saturday, September 15-18, 2021. This year the Top Professional Bull Riders will appear in the PRCA Xtreme Bulls Tour Finale on Monday and Tuesday, September 13-14. These are the TOP riders competing for over $100,000 just before the National Finals. Why do I mention the Round-Up and PRCA? Because in addition to the Round-Up and Happy Canyon being nice people, it just so happens they are donating family tickets for the Round-Up on Wednesday or Thursday which YOU could score in the 36G Convention Spin-the-Wheel!

     The 36G Convention Committee has been working really hard at putting together an engaging and informative convention. This will not be your father’s traditional convention by any means. Here are just some of the speakers, programs, and activities that will be in the convention.

“Will you not help me hasten the day when there shall be no preventable blindness; no little deaf, blind child untaught; no blind man or woman unaided? I appeal to you Lions, you who have your sight, your hearing, you who are strong and brave and kind. Will you not constitute yourselves Knights of the Blind in this crusade against darkness?”
— Helen Keller's Speech at 1925 International Convention Cedar Point, Ohio, USA June 30, 1925
