SKB LIONS LAUNCHES "LION INSIGHT" EYEGLASSES COLLECTION DRIVE IN PARTNERSHIP WITH LOCAL EYE CARE CLINICS

Date: Saturday 20 February 2010
Time: 5:00 PM
Venue: WESLEY METHODIST CHURCH HALL

The SKB Lions Club will launch an Eyeglasses Collection Drive in partnership with local eye care centres.

To celebrate the launch of this Eyeglasses Collection Drive, The SKB Lions will hold a Ceremony that will take place at the Wesley Methodist Church Hall on Saturday, February 20th from 5:00p.m. It will be held under the auspices of His Excellency Dr. Sir Cuthbert Sebastian, the Governor-General. A reception of light refreshments will follow. The dress code is elegantly casual.

It is our pleasure to extend an invitation to you. It is also our hope that at this Ceremony persons would present Lion President Mrs. Patricia Farrell-Heyliger with their old pair of eyeglasses, if they still have them. In return for their kind donation, the Lion President will present them with a Lions-sponsored eyeglass collection box to put in their office.

In attendance will be other prominent residents of St. Kitts and Nevis who wear glasses. Besides the field of health care, our specially invited guests represent the arenas of industry and academia. This is designed to reinforce the point that eyeglasses can help adults to succeed in the workplace and children to succeed in the classroom.

The media will be in attendance to put this important initiative ‘in sight’ of the public.

Please RSVP by Wednesday, February 17th by contacting Lion Valencia Grant

A ‘new kind' of manager is required for the revolution to succeed. With this in mind, the St Kitts Basseterre Lions Club has decided to be the pioneer in this venture and will be hosting a seminar on “Leadership Challenges in the 21st Century”.

Dr Sealy is a Management Consultant who has worked with major firms in Trinidad and Tobago. These include Cable & Wireless, Republic Bank, The Unit Trust Corporation of Trinidad & Tobago, The Ministry of Public Administration & Information; Regional institutions such as Eastern Caribbean Institute of Bankers (ECIB) and International firms such as Norsk Hydro, Phoenix Park Gas, and British American Tobacco in a variety of areas of organizational development.

The seminar, geared towards Middle and Senior Managers, seeks to provide the necessary skills to assist managers in overcoming the challenges that they face in this rapidly changing environment.
