JANUARY FRUIT SALE

I am happy to report our January orders were a little better than last year, so keep up the good work.

The fruit delivery arrived on time Friday and was greeted by 8 Lions, who came out on a chilly and windy morning to help unload the truck.  The weather, so far this year, has been good to us and I hope this continues through February and March.  Our next sale will feature Temple Oranges, Pink Grapefruit and Honey Tangerines.

I want to thank everyone that worked the weekend sale and look forward to your continued support over the next two months of our sales.

66^TH ANNUAL CHARTER NIGHT

Our regular club meeting on February 15th will also be our 66^th Charter Night.  We try to make this night a little special, so bring your spouse or a guest with you.

The cost will be $20 per person and we will have a served salad, with a buffet, featuring rolled roast beef and oven roasted chicken as our entrée, with all the trimmings and apple cobbler for desert.

Joining us for this celebration, will be District Governor Ken and First Lady Lion Marie Chew.  Traditionally, we have two representatives from the Millsboro Lions that sponsored our club 66 years ago.

Hope to see you on the 15^th to honor our great club history.

NEW VISION AID AVAILABLE FROM LORD BALTIMORE LIONS

The Lord Baltimore Lions Club is currently offering a new “vision” aid for the visually impaired.  It is the “Page to T.V. Magnifier” and is as easy to use as a computer mouse.  This device scans written materials and sends them to your television set in seconds.  Magnification ranges from 5X to 12X, its normal size.  The price of this device is $129.95.  The “Page to TV Magnifier” is not a replacement for the CCTV Clear View device currently in use by some of our recipients.  Some visually impaired require the advantage of the CCTV’s advanced technology.  However, the price of the CCTV Clear View is now in the $3,000 range.  Not all visually impaired people need this advanced technology.  Therefore, the “Page to TV Magnifier” will help a large number of the visually impaired.  The units lower cost would allow Lions Clubs to provide this service to those in need of this type of device.

Lord Baltimore has at this time two “Page to TV Magnifiers” in service.  The clients are legally blind and report no problems, stating that the unit has “Changed their lives for the better”.  Lord Baltimore Lions will continue offering the “Page to TV Magnifier” to the visually impaired.

If your Club is interested in this device, we at Lord Baltimore will be happy to answer all questions and schedule a demonstration.  Call me at 302-539-9625 or ask any officer or member of the Lord Baltimore Lions Club.
