Good meeting tonight! I wanted to share tonight, but just couldn't get my hand raised in time. One of our Georgia LIONS asked me about doing some training on vision loss and technology for LIONS REQUIRED TO OBTAIN Leadership Hours. Could we develop a curriculum for such a training. I am a Certified Master's level Vision Rehabilitation Therapist and would be more than happy to serve on such a Committee. Thanks for your leadership! Also, we have gotten a new Georgia Member from your passing on Ann Harrison's name to Betsy and me. LION Marsha

Formal Request for Postal Addresses Sent
Ray Campbell
Hello Lions:
Per our discussion during our August 5, 2021 ACB Lions meeting, I have made a formal request to ACB for the mailing addresses of all ACB Lions registrants so we can send them their ACBL pins. Due to my involvement in the special ACB meeting to adopt the Remote Voting Constitution and Bylaws amendments and activities leading up to it, this request took longer than it should have. Thank you to Lion Carla for helping me make this a good, strong request.

Elections where there are contests of officers, directors and members of the Board of Publications must be conducted by record vote.
