>> Lion Al Lovati from Indiana.
>>
>> A couple of years ago, a group of us NFB Lions met to discuss the 
>> possibility of putting together a video that we can use to share with our 
>> Lions Clubs around the nation that highlighted the work of Blind Lions 
>> and illustrate ways to channel their efforts in more meaningful ways.
>>
>> We never got rolling on this, but I took the idea back to Indiana and 
>> came up with a low cost, easy process of making a descriptive video that 
>> can be used at various meetings and functions. The video is about 10 
>> minutes long, runs on a laptop or DVD player. It's a great way to get the 
>> message across to a group without having to stand up in front of the 
>> group and talk. A five minute or so follow up question session makes for 
>> a pretty powerful presentation.
>> I'll show the video I made and will make myself available during the 
>> convention to share this process and work with anyone who's interested in 
>> helping to make a video that we can take back to our clubs.
>>
>> To do this we'll need to collect pictures of you and others involved in 
>> club activities. I know this is short notice but hopefully some of you 
>> will bring pictures. Another key component is to record sound bites from 
>> as many as possible, describing their involvement in their clubs. These 
>> sound bites will provide the true message of the video. If we can collect 
>> enough pictures, we should be able to put together a video that everyone 
>> can take home with them.
>>
>> Failing that, I'll make enough copies of the Indiana Lions for the ISBVI 
>> video for everyone to take with them. I'll also have the free software 
>> and a handout or two of how to use the software. We'll also have time to 
>> work through some of the steps for creating a video.
>>
>> Again, the intent of doing this is not meant to be 'look at us and see 
>> how wonderful we are in Indiana', but as an example of what can be done 
>> when groups such as the Lions and NFB work together to make a real 
>> difference.
>>
>> See everyone in a week or so...
