SPECIAL ANNOUNCEMENT

An Invitation to Join

Winnipeg South Lions in our

2^nd Annual International Day of Fasting

in Support of

CAMPAIGN SIGHTFIRST II

Saturday, June 7, 2008

"We ask all Lions Club Members to fast on this day and donate the money saved on food ($5.00) towards our campaign."

Facts & Information

Melvin Jones, of Chicago, Illinois, on June 7, 1917, held the first organizational meeting of the Lions Club.

On October 8-10, 1917, in Dallas, Texas, a Convention was held and the constitution, by-laws, objects and code of ethics was approved.

The Lions Club International consists of approx. 1.3 to 1.4 million members and if each member donated $5.00, we would have $7,000,000.00 towards our campaign.

If each member was to ask their spouse or partner to join them, we could raise $14,000,000.00.

If each member got a friend to join the fast, we would have $21,000,000.00.

If each member were to get nine (9) additional people to join our fast on June 7, 2008, and each donated $5.00, we would raise $70,000,000.00.

We are making this an annual event in honor of Melvin Jones and the first group of members of the Lions Club International in aid of our fight against blindness throughout the world.

Please forward all funds collected directly to Sight First II

and notify our Club President of the amount your group collected as a result of your fast.
