Sights for Hope Reschedules Lions4Sight 2023 Breakfast for Saturday, April 29
Sights for Hope has rescheduled its Lions4Sight 2023 Breakfast for Saturday, April 29, to allow more Lions Club members to attend.
The event will continue to be held at the Lehigh Valley Hotel and Conference Center in Bethlehem, PA, and start at 8:30 a.m. Sights for Hope made the date change after it received reports of several Lions Club members who could not attend the breakfast on its original date, April 8, because it occurs on the Easter holiday weekend.
During the annual Lions4Sight Breakfast, clubs and district groups from the Lehigh Valley and Monroe County learn about Sights for Hope’s recent successes and its upcoming initiatives. The clubs and groups also are recognized for their support of Sights for Hope and pledge their support for the current year.
Each club or district group may send two members to the breakfast for free. Other Lions may attend at a price of $23 per person. Lions are asked to RSVP by Friday, April 21, by phone to 610.433.6018, Ext. 241, or on the web at SightsforHope.org/Lions.
