As a Lion, I attend a once a week noon time/luncheon meeting and for
transportation I use our Paratransit service as bus service is not frequent
enough and a little out of the way to get to the meeting location.

I have made friend with another Lion in the club and if I forget to make my
reservation for the meeting, I can call him to see if he is available to
give me a lift and back.

The first club I joined my sponsor was kind enough to provide me with
transportation to the meetings and most service projects. Again, when he was
not available I would either use a cab or the Paratransit service.

I understand your frustration and hope you can find someone that is willing
to help you.

Hope this helps, and if you are planning to attend the convention in
Orlando, please plan to join us on Monday evening at 5:00 PM for a gathering
of NFB Lions. Program is up on the web and last checked it was only
available in a accessible pdf file.

Hello,
I am Dar Aldrich from Montana,
,I am trying to join a lions club here in town where I am asked what 
can you do for us, we expect you to do for us more than we can do for you.
I know there are lions all over the country, I wish to learn what all 
of you are doing, so that I can fit rite in.
One of the huge problems is transportation here in town.
We already use the cabs where to go to events by cab all over town 
would be a huge expense.
Can you share what you do.
this is with transportation.
I am willing to pay my $150 in July with the rest of the folks.
that isn't a problem.
I tried to join another club where they refused to help with transportation.
I don't have the money to give any organization just so they have money 
to throw me out.
I want to support them as best as I can.
they call guide dogs service dogs.
I explained that our guide dogs or even seeing eye dogs are just for the
blind.
Here in town they sponser leader dogs for the blind, you would think 
that would give them a clue, blind?
I am wishing to learn how you get to all activities as well as helping out.
We have some pretty eldery seniors in the club so I will ask many questions.
I would like to share what you folks have done.
Thanks again,
I sure appreciate your help.
I am wishing to get out more in the community.
