White Cane Day

Lions thoughout the world dedicate a special time each year to ask the public to join with them in one of their primary missions as an organizaation; assistance to the blind. The white cane, a device that helps identify individuals with loss of sight, has been selected as the symbol and title for this event. In the Prescott Sunrise club the responsibility for the coordination of this event rests with the first vice president, which, in the 2009-10 year, is Lion Don Shaffer. This years very successful event will be held on September 26th.
The public is quite informed about the role that Lions play in providing glasses for youth and supporting sight conservation generally. Their contributions are made willingly and with a smile and Lions eveywhere thank them for their support.
