Subject: Re: Blind Children's Center Project donation update - East Valley Lions Club President, Kenny Shu's donation

Hey! Lion President Kenny!

I gotta say "I told you so" that Downtown Long Beach and other clubs like Whittier Host would come through to make sure we had the money in hand and the pledges to complete the fund raising for the BCC van project. And now you have made that final pledge to finish the funding. 

MOST IMPORTANT though, is to acknowledge and thank you for the marvelous leadership and follow-through you have shown throughout this effort. You are certainly a Lions HERO! Without your leadership and dedication, this effort could never have been completed so quickly. Indeed, as you know, that's why we have to wait until June to get our matching funds considered, since we had no idea the response you organized would come so quickly.

THANK YOU! You not only selected a project to work on. YOU made it happen with your dedication to informing everyone and convincing us to become a part of it. I very much look forward to recognition of this at our February 28 meeting. See you then.

Yours ion Lionism,

DG Judy Powell
