Hello, Fellow Meadville Lions,

Well, there's an old saying that "April Showers Bring May Flowers". I really hope that will be so and that the chilly nights we've been having don't do any damage to the flowers and beautiful blossoms that we are enjoying now.

Please be sure to stop by the Meadville Post Office and see the fresh plantings. Thanks so much to Lion Alberta for her help with this project.

A number of Meadville Lions will be traveling to Pittsburgh early this month to enjoy viewing an

Imax film entitled, "Rocky Mountain Express". We will be sure to report on our trip at our May meeting.

I'd like to welcome our newest members - Robert and Cheryl Gilson. They had the special privilege of being inducted into membership at the recent District 14-F Convention. Cheryl will soon be returning her Future Leader Dog Puppy, "Crosby" to Leader Dog School for the Blind. We hope that "Crosby" will whiz through his training and will be successfully matched with a person who is blind.

We have been enjoying reading the various articles in the Meadville Tribune about our meetings and our various activities. A special thank you to Lions Cindy and Judy for their hard work.

We are so glad that Lions Sharon, Bev, Judy and PDG John had such a successful outing at the

Downtown Meadville Mall. Approximately 60 children received the Pedia Vision Screening as

part of the Children's Fair. The most important part was that the parents of 5 children were alerted to the fact that their child had potential problems that should be further investigated. Thanks for your faithful service.

Please be sure to take time to attend our two regular meetings and our monthly Board meeting in

May!

Remember to thank our Service Men and Women for their service to our country.

As we approach Memorial Day, let's be aware that "Memories are gifts the ones we love leave with us - and our

hearts can open them again and again." Holley Gerth

Happy May to each of you

from King Lion Jean
