• PDG Bob Jones Announces this Lions Year "Leader Dog for the Blind Celebratory Anniversary "70 for 70" Program.

In 2009, Leader Dogs for the Blind will be celebrating their 70th anniversary providing the blind and visually impaired with dog guides. In celebration of Leader Dog’s 70th anniversary, Lions Clubs making a donation of $70 more than their previous year’s contribution will receive a commemorative “70 for 70” patch (shown above) for their club banner and a pin of the same design for each club member.

As District chair I’m challenging each club in the district to increase the donation they made last year by the $70. I would like to see our District 22D participate100% toward the “70 for 70” program.
