I stumbled into it nearly 20 years back. Wanted to do more for others. Found it: Lionism. A club here in the valley looking for new blood, found it, haven’t looked back since. Today (4/23), the essence of Lionism: serving others; even more the essence: a vision clinic. About 500 folks should come through the …

Fellowship Found
I’ve written about this before I think, my particular belief about volunteering and fellowship. Time to have another go. Like many things, we enjoy them more when we do them with others.
