YOUTH CENTER NEWS
The youth center staff would like to thank Marcy LePage for donating a DVD/VCR player to the youth center.

SIGHT NIGHT
The 3rd Annual Sight Night is under way.  Plastic pumpkins have been placed out in the community businesses to make folks aware that the Lions are collecting glasses.  Notices will be going out in the local papers and notes are being sent home with students in school reminding them to collect glasses and bring them to drop-off sites or to the Halloween party on October 29th.  A prize will be given to the guest who brings the most glasses in that night.  Hopefully this will encourage another outreach in our community that sparks human interest and the Lionism spirit that we are all fond of.
