October Service Action Campaign: Sharing the Vision
Every
five seconds, someone in our world goes blind - and a child goes blind
every minute. Lions have an opportunity to shine a light on vision and
show the strength of our worldwide network during a special service
action campaign, "Sharing the Vision." This month, your club can
organize projects that mobilize your members to make a difference by
helping those who live with blindness and visual impairment. Learn how to get involved. |
