Our first meeting of October - on the 4th - featured a presentation by Lee Bensenhaver of the
REM organization. He explained the services that his organization provides to allow people with
developmental disabilities to remain in residential settings. Our second meeting of the month –
on the 18th - featured a presentation by an exchange student from Chile – not Brazil – as was
reported in last month’s newsletter. Catalina gave a very interesting introduction to her country
and engaged the audience in a lively discussion of the similarities and differences between her
town and Keyser.
The Annual District 29-I Fall Conference was held in Blackwater Falls on 19-20 October 2012.
Lion Dallas Adams and his lovely wife, Arlene, along with your editor, attended the conference.
In addition to District Governor Barb Fishel’s Cabinet Meeting, there were two seminars. Interna-
tional Director Carolyn Messier conducted the first seminar. The focus of this seminar was on
growing our local clubs in the 21st Century. Her presentation focused on the need to bring more
women into the clubs and to consider branch clubs or other means of accommodating the busy
schedules of potential new members. The second seminar was about two types of vision screen-
ing equipment that District 29-I is considering purchasing. Attendees were able to see videos of
the new equipment in action. It was very impressive and should allow our clubs to provide even
better vision screening services to those who need it. The conference ended with the banquet.
International Director Messier delivered the keynote address. There were numerous awards
handed out, the annual parade of checks, and entertainment provided by The Stemple Ridge
Giggers. It was amazing to see how many people actually acknowledged knowing Lion Dallas!
Assuming that we have all recovered from Hurricane Sandy by then, we will gather at University
Place on November 1st at 6:30 pm. Our first speaker for the month will be the new Provost of
Potomac State University, Dr. Leonard Colelli. No information was available about the program
for our second meeting at the time this newsletter went to the printer.
Here is another upcoming event that should be of interest to the Keyser Lions:
The 17th Annual West Virginia Leadership School will be taking place at Flatwoods Days Hotel
from January 25-27th, 2013. More information and registration forms are available on the Dis-
trict Governor’s website as well.
Looking forward to seeing you at these exciting events.
