The Affiliate That Roars

Are you a Lion who is blind or visually impaired? Have you been a Lion in the past, or are you interested in becoming one?
 
The American Council of Blind Lions gives Lions who are blind and visually impaired a chance to share ideas and experiences. In 2018, ACBL will again support the American Council of the Blind scholarship program. ACBL will assist outstanding students to attend the 57th ACB national convention in St. Louis, Mo. Support for this project comes from contributions from local clubs, from individual Lions, and from the ACBL treasury.
 
ACBL holds informative telephone conference call meetings on the first Thursday of each month at 9 p.m. Eastern time. The conference call number is (712) 432-3900, and the call ID is 796096.
 
If you are already a Lion, have been one in the past, or would like to join, you are invited to be part of ACBL. Membership is open to people who are blind, visually impaired or sighted. One-year membership is just $15; life membership is $150.
 
Whether you are new to ACBL, or you need to renew your membership for 2018, take a few minutes now to make your check payable to ACB Lions and mail to the American Council of Blind Lions, 148 Vernon Ave., Louisville, KY 40206. Or skip the hassle of writing a check. Pay dues by phone with your credit card by calling (502) 897-1472, or go to www.paypal.com and send money to [email protected].
