World sight day is celebrated on the second Thursday of October , this year falling on October 10th.
In honour of this important day, we have chosen to lend our support to Guide dogs UK. To that end, the club has decided to dedicate an entire week’s takings from the Lions shop to the Guide Dogs Charity.
Lion Gerry Woolfenden, who is a local guide dog owner speaks warmly of his companion. “Without my guide dog, Philip, I would be more or less marooned in my house. But with him, I’m able to participate in the community in every way, leading a full and contended life, and helping others in the community to do the same.”
It is hoped that this support will bring much needed awareness and funds to a cause that brings independence and companionship to so many like Lion Gerry. It promises to make a difference for those who rely on these faithful friends.
It is intended that we will have some Guide dogs and their owners in and around the shop on the 10th to help promote the event.
Our Annual Fashion Show will take place on Wednesday 16th October in the Ex Servicemens club (see Posters and photograph of some of the models outside the shop.)
This is an entertaining and fun evening with Lions and shop volunteers modelling clothes that have been donated. All items will be for sale afterwards.
The “Biggest Sale of the Year” returns on 16th November when we have our Christmas Fayre in the Floral Hall. (see Poster)
It is truly amazing just how much Christmas stock we are able to accumulate during the course of the year. It requires a mammoth effort by our members and shop volunteers to get it all out on display and hopefully, sell it all.
Make sure that you are there to grab a bargain.
A reminder that we still collect old spectacles. They can be dropped off at the shop at anytime. We send them to Lions Clubs Multiple District Headquarters in Birmingham where they are sorted and sent for use in Third World countries.
