THE SIGHT SEER NEEDS YOU! YES – YOU! Chair our Dis-trict’s SIGHT SEER PROJECT and live HELEN KELLER’S CHALLENGE to “BE A KNIGHT TO THE BLIND.”
HOW? – Work with our District, Region and Zone Chairs in assuring that our District’s Lions “KNOW” THE SIGHT SEER’S MISSION of BRINGING THE PRINTED WORD TO “LIFE,” FOR THOSE UNABLE TO READ FOR THEMSELVES.
WE READ – THEY LISTEN – and in Listening They Stay in “TOUCH” with the world outside their front door. Our listeners tell us our reading, our programming becomes their friend, their companion, their antidote to depression and their escape into other worlds as we spin tales, solve mysteries and regale them with the latest Washington gossip!
BE THAT KNIGHT. THE NEED IS REAL – ARE YOU? CALL ME – 616-466-5132
Yours in Lionism, Stan Hone, District 11c1 Project Chair
