At the latest induction of new members into the Frontenac Catalyst Leo’s Club, District Governor Bill Zwier issued a challenge to the young Leo’s. Lion’s members were challenged back in 1925 by Helen Keller to be “knights of the blind in the crusade against darkness” and now the torch for this crusade has been handed to the young club.
DG Bill has challenged the Leo’s to collect 100 pairs of gently used eye glasses to be redistributed to people in need. And the group has graciously accepted!! There is a donation box for glasses at the Central Frontenac Municipal office lobby and it will remain there until the end of November. The Sharbot Lake Lion’s breakfast in support of the Salvation Army Christmas basket programme is on November 25th at the Soldiers’ Memorial hall where you can drop them off as well. Please support our efforts and give the gift of sight! If you are a youth between the ages of 12 and 18 and are looking to get involve in your community you can contact any Lion’s club member or call Lion Lesley Merrigan at 613-279-3144 for more information.
Our next meeting is scheduled for December 7 at the Royal Canadian Legion in Sharbot Lake and folks are welcome to come and sit in and see us in action. Thanking the community in advance for your continued support of our youth programme.
