28, approximately 30, Lions and wives at-
tended the ,,regular meeting at the White
Carnation in Holmesville and welcomed
Sonia Jackson as their guest speaker.
Miss Jackson is the district nurse for the
Easter Seal Society of Ontario in -the area
andshe gave a most interesting and infor-
mative film presentation and speech on the
society's activities.
Her presentation was very timely as the
local club is preparing to mail out this week
the Easter Seal envelopes and the communi-
ty, which in the past has been very
generous, is being asked to once again think
of those less fortunate than themselves. She
was introduced by Lion Steve Fraser, who is
the Easter Seal Committee Chairman and
the Telethon Chairman for Clinton and she
was thanked and presented with a gift of ap-
preciation by Lion Len Theedom.
