The Elgin Lions were quite pleased to host 10-year-old Zoe at our February 6th meeting. She is an American Heritage Girl, a Christian oriented Scouting program, at Harvest Church in Elgin. Zoe is currently working on a badge called All God's children and is learning about disabilities. She needed to do a service for others and chose to make 28 braille valentine's day cards! She used some textured heart stickers and small raised dot sticker gems to spell out "feel the love" in braille. The Lions will be sending these cards to people with sight impairment throughout the Elgin area.

We are very grateful to Zoe and the Elgin Lions Club. Happy Valentine's Day!"
Zoe clearly personified the slogan of the Lions Clubs all over the world:
