Lions club achieve goal EXETER - Lions Clubs Interna- tional, the world's largest service organization, has surpassed its goal of raising at least U.S. $130 million for campaign Sightfirst. Funds support projects to prevent and cure blindness in this country and around the world. "Months before the end of the campaign on June 29, Lions have raised U.S. $ 130,335,734" said Don Thompson, president of the Exeter Lions Club. "But we're not through yet. The more funds that we raise, the more sight -restoring projects we can implement, and the closer we will come to the Lion's ultimate objective of con- quering needless blindness. The Exeter Lions club has raised a good portion of its $8,500 goal through a variety of activities in- cluding a mail campaign and the August 6 baseball get -away - weekend draw, to be held on Cana- da Day. "I am very proud of the way club members and the community have responded to the plight of people who are threatened by blindness," Thompson said. "It is so rewarding to know that we in Exeter are playing a signifi- cant part in the greatest sight con- servation initiative in history. I particularly want to thank Paul An- stett, who has done a terrific job in chairing our club's campaign Sightfirst committee," he said. Already, Lions have carried out more than 2.5 million vision screenings, provided more than 358,000 free cataract surgeries to needy people, trained 1,100 eye health professionals, and built 30 new eye hospitals. Project costs are kept to a minimum thanks to the contributed services of 1.4 million Miniature house raffle GODERICH - Volunteers and businesses across Huron County are aiming to raise $3,000 for heart disease and stroke research by par- ticipating in the Heart and Stroke Foundation of Ontario, Huron Chapter's Special Event called the "Children's Dream Home Raffle".

The World Health Organization, with whom Lions work closely in planning Sightfirst projects, esti- mate that there are over 40 million blind people today, 80 percent of whom could have had their blind- ness prevented or still could have it reversed. WHO's prediction that the number of blind would double within a generation unless dramatic action were taken, prompted Lions to act. Sight conservation and work with the blind are firmly established tra- ditions for Lions, dating back to 1925 when Helen Keller personally challenged Lions to become "Knights of the Blind in the Cru- sade Against Darkness". Since then Lions established the White Cane as a symbol of independence in the 1930s, established the first Dog Guide School in the United States as well as the first Corneal Eye Bank. Today, eye banks sponsored by Lions account for nearly 25,000 cornea transplants per year. Sightfirst grants have been awarded in a total of 36 countries.
