Tri - Club Meeting

We had a great Tri - Club meeting last Thursday night, 
September 23rd. District Governor Dick Selway and 
Vice District Governor Al Adams both visited. The 
District Governor gave an excellent talk on Lionism and 
his and Vice District Governor Al Adams' goals for this 
year. The theme for this year is "Service with Passion".

Wilmington Lions Club President Charlie Rico showed 
an excellent video of this year's Downhill Race 
produced by Comcast Cable. P. D. G. Eddie Keyse 
presented the race winners their checks for both 
themselves and for their charities. Members of Beacon 
House received a check for their invaluable help and 
labor in staging the Downhill Race. Checks were also 
presented to the Harbor City / Lomita Lions Club, the 
San Pedro Lions Club, and the Wilmington Lions Club 
for their Charities accounts.

District Governor Dick Selway inducted two new Lions, 
Chris Gutierrez of the Wilmington Lions Club and 
Lauren Cotner of the San Pedro Lions Club. A big Lion 
Roar welcomed the new members. P. D. G. Eddie Keyse 
presented San Pedro Lion George Keens with a 45-year 
pin.

Ante's served an excellent meal and all enjoyed good 
fellowship! Thanks to the Harbor City / Lomita Lions 
Club, the Wilmington Lions Club and the San Pedro 
Lions Club for a great meeting and a good turnout.

If you missed the meeting, you missed a great time and 
good fellowship. And, we missed seeing you!

Lions on TV

Huell Howser Productions, producer of the California 
Gold Series viewed on all PBS stations, recently taped 
Lions In Sight at work. 

The production company followed various Lions around 
the southern California area and documented how they 
pick up used eyeglasses. Then they visited the 
warehouse in Vallejo to witness how the glasses are 
sorted, cleaned and calibrated. They accompanied a 
volunteer trip to Hermosillo, Mexico and taped a 
mission team in the actual operation of a clinic. 
 
This film, titled "California Green," will be shown on 
KCET in Southern California on Sunday October 3rd 
and Tuesday October 19th, both times at 6:00 PM.
