A short board meeting was held with members able to ask Governor Sue about various concerns. The multiple district convention in Dover, Del was discussed and the sites for future conventions. The preschool vision screening program was discussed. Records will be kept at the Multiple District Level and will be administered through the Lions Saving Kids Sight program. Clubs will have to raise $70,000 yearly to fund this program. A non Lion employee will have to be hired for the program. Also, we will no longer be able to send film away to be read but will have to purchase a new camera which reads the eyes.
