LIONS PARTICIPATE IN VISION 20/20 REGIONAL MEETING

The Lions and Leos of Zone 3B have partnered with the Saint Lucia Blind Welfare Association (SLBWA) in hosting the Regional Meeting of Vision 20/20 Committees for the Caribbean from December 8-9, 2014.  The theme for the meeting was – Celebrating 14 years of Vision 20/20: The right to Sight in the Caribbean.  The focus of the Vision 20/20 Committees is preventing Blindness and visual impairment; while restoring sight and creating opportunities for persons whose sight cannot be restored

The Lions and Leos serve on the local Committee and were engaged in planning the conference.  Lions Lesley-Ann and Carolyn from the Castries club shared their experience in conference planning with the Committee.  Lion Carolyn was instrumental in obtaining gift items for the Kits.   During the conference Lion President Beatrice Mac Donald provided administrative and technical support at the Conference Secretariat.

Throughout the Region the Lions play a pivotal role in the work of the various Vision 20/20 Committees as most of the reports indicate that Lions Clubs are facilitating financial and technical support thorough Lions Clubs International. 
We remain committed to preservation of sight as we seek to honour our commitment to being knights of the Blind.
