Hello Fellow
Lions of District 33S:
On October 24th, we held our
second successful Voting Cabinet Meeting at the Lakeville Lions Club. Over Pizza we exchanged a lot of ideas
and good information about the different
clubs. Zone Chairman Ken Corti gave an
excellent report on the Walk-A-Long, almost $19,000
has been raised so far. Once again the Carnation Day was a great success $3,952
was raised thanks to Lion Melissa Brown. The Youth Speech and Peace Poster Contest
is now under way. We have a great
chance to visit Schepens Eye Research Institute on the 29th of November thanks
to the

A final report
was given by our Region and Zone Chairpersons. A Great job done by all!
Thank you

30,000 pairs of eye glasses
for Sri Lanka Tsunami survivors
Zone Chairman Norm McMann from Dighton has volunteered to
lead this project and will store the glasses in Dighton until they are ready to
be shipped. Please pack your collected eye glasses without the cases in
boxes with a count marked on the outside if possible. This
is a District 33S Project and we need 15000 + glasses collected.
Regional Chairs and Zone Chairs will be collecting glasses during their regular visits to the clubs. Kindly bring your boxes to the next Cabinet Advisory Meeting on November 28th at the King Philip Hall in Raynham.

VANITY LICENSE PLACES
We need 1500 plate applications before the Registry of Motor Vehicles will make your new LIONS plates. The LIONS PLATE will help in getting public recognition, which we’ve lacked over the years past. You can purchase a VANITY LIONS plate for only $40.00, but if you want a low number (1-1000) it will cost a tax deductible, $140.00, which includes a $100.00 donation to MLERFI. I believe this $100 is a one time charge.
For more information and/or an application contact:
Lion Gary Saccocia, 680 Crescent St,
