I've been working with Dave on this project for 2 and a  half years now, in 
fact we have another meeting coming up soon.  The final draft is almost 
done.

> Hi Everyone,

> departments to train them how to assist people with disabilities. Dave is 
> not only a wonderful speaker but he kept our attention without anyone 
> being bored for 7 hours. He did mention the NFB a few times. In his power

> her challenge. That is how the Lions Clubs began and they are 
> International. Since I am a Lion I was so happy this topic was brought up
