[nagdu] Lions Club and support

[t21114 at optonline.net]

Rebecca I am not sure but I think you might be able to download the original speech Helen Keller made but if you can't let me know. I am waiting for our Lions District Governor to give me the copy she has so I can copy it . Lions International doesn't have copies to sell anymore.
