[Nfb-lions] new here

[Julie J]

Hello all!

I've just joined this list in hopes of getting more information to help decide  if joining the Lions Club is right for me.

I've been asked repeatedly to join my local Lions.  Last week I did a presentation on guide dogs at one of the regular meetings.  It went very well.  I was also able to meet with some of the members.  

I live in a small town where everyone knows everyone, so it is common for people to tell me that they've seen me here or there or doing something or another.   So many of the members knew who I was, but I'm still figuring out who's who.  

I have very, very little knowledge or experience with the Lions at the local, state or national level.  Please tell me what I need to know from a blindness and NFB perspective so I can make an informed decision on whether or not to become involved in the Lions.
