“Everyone has different reasons for wanting to join Lions. We help in many ways as our community is diverse. I am a Lion who can do whatever I put my mind to, with Lisa my guide dog and my trusty white cane. This year I’m focused on building our club as its president and working with others in our diverse community.”
