VOTING---A RESPONSIBILITY AND PRIVILEGE

Remember to vote!   Voting is a privilege that some take for granted.   Recall the news reports from other countries. of citizens being denied voting because of their race, gender, or economic status.

In the United States we are fortunate to have  presidential power and other leadership positions that can change hands without violence.  Our forefathers established a framework  to allow this voting privilege.   Not everything in the system is perfect, yet methods have been established to correct the problems.  

     Don't be passive!   Exercise your right to vote!

Community Service

As a member of LIONS CLUB INTERNATIONAL,  we have the opportunity to serve as part of the community.   On September 8, 2012, we will host a booth selling  fresh scones.  
The money collected in this venture will provide funds for needy individuals needing glasses.  We also provide scholarships for  high school students going to college, leadership forums and Girls' State and Boys' State.       
Get involved in your community through a volunteer group or religious organization. You will feel better about yourself and the world around you.
