That’s What We Are All About

     What can I say “time flies when you’re having fun.”  Now, I cannot believe we are less than five months from the finish line.

     Being a Lion is one of my favorite things I have done in my lifetime. Knowing that you have helped a fellow human being along their way (perhaps through a difficult time) is the most rewarding feeling.

     Remembering helping with vision testing grade schoolers and seeing the kids who really needed glasses was such an eye-opener for me. That’s when I knew I’d always be a Lion just so I could help kids see. “That’s what we are all about”.

     Even though there seems to be some issues of being able to be in schools and testing, don’t give up. Counties are opening back up slowly and soon we will be back to the “old” schedule.

     I also want to give an “ATTABOY” to the clubs in District G for the new members they have brought into the Lions. Thank you for your work and do not slow down. This means that there are more members for more projects and we can help more and more people in need.

     I am so excited that Spring is right around the corner. Don’t forget March 13th Daylight Saving’s Time begins. That means we have an extra hour of daylight to do an extra hour of help with projects for the Lions.

“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?”
