>> I was told they are quick to take the money the rest is up to you.
>> If the lions do knitting for anything I can try on that from home and send

>> it somewhere.
>> if that is how I can become a lion at large.
>> I just want to help someone smile.
>> This chapter does allot of breakfasts things like that.

>> I understand that the national lions come to this, for the state
>> convention.
>> They wanted to pay for new comers to go, then after that you pay for your

>> We said no because of transportation.
>> Thanks for sharing.

>> Original message:
>>> Just a question, Ramona you can verify this.
>>> Lions International, aren't they suppose to help those that cannot make
>>> it to the meetings, especially if the person is blind.
>>> Also isn't there a scholarship or something that she can apply for
>>> through lions, if someone cannot afford to pay dues etc.
>>> I thought there was something in place for this.
>>> And if the Lions aren't helping in her area for shame on them.
>>> I think National (meaning Lions) should hear about this. NOT RIGHT AND
>>> NOT FAIR.
>>> I hope we can grow this club and become a division within the NFB or at
>>> least do some kind of outreach etc.  We need to get out there and speak
>>> to our Lions and tell them to remember blind people are not the same
>>> blind people that Helen Keller knighted over 100 years ago, but at the
>>> same time, there are people who want to be Lions but just cannot afford
>>> it.
>>> YIL
>>> Lion Cheryl
>>> I will try and be at our meeting, but it being the same time as the NAGDU

>>> Division meeting it will be cutting it close.
