> >>
> >> 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...
