Hello MD-1,
Please join us at the MD-1 State Convention to learn more about the Kid Sight vision
program. V.O.I.C.E.S., “Volunteer Organization Involved in Charitable Expressions of
Service” is the Charitable Arm of District 1-A and will be hosting this session along with
providing free vision screenings to children ages 6 months to 6 years. In addition, 1st
Vice President, Lion Bob Corlew and Lion Dianne will also be participating in this
screening.
We are very excited to have Tammy Johnson a representative from the plusoptix
Company that has partnered with the Kid Sight program to do an informal seminar about
the program and equipment. You don’t want to miss this opportunity to learn more about
this program.
In addition, we have invited all the Districts in the state to bring their cameras that are
being used in their District, to help with the screenings. MD-1 currently has 12 cameras
in operation around the state with more on order. We hope to have a group picture to
showcase all of our cameras in the state.
PDG Jerry Curry and PDG Steve Frankenstein and the Springfield Noon Lions Club from
District 1-M have joined forces to get the word out to the local community about this
program and invite them to attend. Please join us if you live in the Springfield area and
would like to have your child screened (ages 6 months to 6 years of age).
Date: Saturday May 21
Time: 2:00pm – 4:00 pm
Location: President Abraham Lincoln Hotel --- Freeport room (2nd Floor)

“One of the best hotels ever!” We just returned from our stay in Springfield. We thoroughly enjoyed staying at this hotel. The staff was very friendly, the beds were extremely comfortable, and the location was perfect for visiting all of the historic Lincoln sites. We ate in the hotel restaurant three times during our stay. My husband said it was the best burger he ever had! I had the prime rib and it was excellent. Our server was Sean - very friendly and very prompt to attend to our every need!
“Possibly the best hotel in town” I am in Springfield often and this is my favorite hotel. Clean, well-appointed, comfortable rooms. One deficit is the walls are thin and you can hear every word, sneeze and flush. Great breakfast buffet includes made to order omelette.
Room service menu is quite limited and not the best, but it's good enough if you're exhausted or don't feel like venturing out of your room. There's always a conference or other activity so rooms book up, you'll need a reservation. Front desk staff could be friendlier, but otherwise good “One of the best hotels ever!” We just returned from our stay in Springfield. We thoroughly enjoyed staying at this hotel.
