- Chairman Micari to Dr. Everett Lyons: </strong><em>On behalf of the Bristol Commission for Persons with Disabilities, I thank you for your presentation at our September Commission meeting, on the topic of Rotary International and our local Bristol Lions. The presentation was an informative and comprehensive overview and discussion of Rotary International and Bristol Rotary History and Mission, including Lions' <strong>global causes</strong> (Hunger, Environmental, Vision, Childhood Cancer and Youth); <strong>primary causes</strong> (services for sight-impaired people worldwide, including sight clinics, research, and support for Fidelco Guide Dogs); <strong>local initiatives</strong> (hearing assistance, provision of a Beach Wheelchair for a disabled child, scholarships for sight-impaired High School graduates, QR Technology at Boulevard monuments and Carousel Museum exhibits, donations to Bristol Hospital for cataract surgery instruments, Compassion Lounge, and Low Vision Clinic; <strong>annual donations</strong> (American School for the Deaf, Camp Rising Sun (cancer) and Mid-State Diabetes Camp, Pre-K and Elementary school eye screenings, free eye exams and glasses for needy residents, Food Bank support at shelters and food kitchens), all of which highlight Lions' local community impact. Finally, your presentation clearly demonstrated that Lions is a valued partner of disabled individuals and families and myriad causes that improve their lives. I look forward to our future collaboration and Lions' Sponsorship of the Commission's October 17th Sensory Information Forum - "What is it Like to Be Blind in a Sighted World/ What is it Like to Be Deaf in a Hearing World."
