Be Seen Helping, Be Seen Working, Be Seen Caring

     By the time you read this the 36-G convention will be long behind me.  It went really well without any problems or issues.  The weather was pleasant, no snow fell nor did any rain.  People traveled safe. Our ID Larry Edwards and wife Susan were so very nice.  He was full of questions and answers. They seemed very impressed with the amount of projects each club in District G was doing.  He took lots of notes to take home to his club.

     One of the fun activities at our convention was PCC Steve Oliver selling his hair. Well ok he didn’t really “sell” his hair, but actually let a visually impaired Lion shave his head for money to go to childhood cancer research. Thank you Lions PCC Steve and PDG Mary Lee.

     I also want to thank the Baker City Lions Club for their help.  And for the beautiful flower arrangements.

     Spring is just around the corner, which means more outdoor activities.  Use this time to do all you can.  Be seen helping, be seen working, be seen caring, and be seen doing what we do as 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?”
— Helen Keller's Speech at 1925 International Convention Cedar Point, Ohio, USA June 30, 1925
