From the Editor:

Congratulations to Lion Sheryl Schlater who will be starting her duties as District Governor on July 1. Lion Sheryl and Lion Leo will be attending the International Convention in Sidney, Australia, on June 28- 30. The Troy Lions wish them a safe and happy journey.

Lion Steve Kaplan reports:

Thanks to all 11 Lions that worked White Cane Day in May. Here are the results:

Kroger	$186.12
Wal-Mart	$168.53
Post Office	$ 71.35
Total	$ 426.00 profit

Thank you to Wal-Mart. In May we received a $400 check from their Foundation towards our vision program and we received a $250 associate check for Sheryl's work with a charity (that's us!) Oh it's good to be a 501 c 3 charity.

Strawberry Festival is coming up on June 5 and 6. If you have not yet signed up to work the booth, please give Lion Steve a call. Lion Steve is also looking for volunteers to help store the Strawberries on Friday, June 4. Here are some points to keep in mind when working at the booth:

All counter workers must smile and say thank-you. You represent Lions/Leos.
Bring a hat. All workers must wear hats or hairnets.
All food workers must wear plastic gloves. These will be provided.
All money handlers should not wear gloves, and not touch food or trays.
All food and supplies must be kept at least 6 inches off the ground.
All "gray water," that is, water containing soap or bleach, must be carried down to collection basin. Do not throw in grass or flower beds.
All trash generated from production (empty boxes, strawberry parts,) must be taken down to trash dumpsters. Do not use public trashcans.

The annual Troy Mayor’s Concert is scheduled for August 22. Volunteers will be needed to work the popcorn machine.

Keratoconus is an inherited disease where the cornea becomes progressively shaped like a cone, pointing outward. Wearing a contact lens may slow the progression of the disease. Corneal transplant surgery may be required. The Lions Eye Bank of West Central Ohio provides such surgery.
