I BELIEVE: Through example my children are learning values that will last a lifetime. I BELIEVE: That the best things in life are free, the sunrise, the autumn color, the beauty of spring. I BELIEVE: That happiness comes from the joy of doing things for others, with no thought of personal gain. I BELIEVE: That by my toil I am giving more to the world than I am taking from it, and the world is just a little better for my having passed through it. I BELIEVE: That my life will be measured by what I have done for my fellow man and by this standard I fear no judgment. I BELIEVE: That when a man grows old and sums up his days, he should be able to stand tall and feel pride in the life he has lived. I BELIEVE: A man plants a tree knowing that he will not live long enough to enjoy it, but others will be able to enjoy its shade and beauty. I BELIEVE: That with the help of about one and one half million Lions I can do my part to make this a better world for future generations. MISSION STATEMENT To create and foster a spirit of understanding among all people for humanitarian needs by providing voluntary services through community involvement and international cooperation. LIONS INVOCATION Lord, as we Lions gather here, we pause to offer up this prayer. Bless now this food that we partake and every effort that we make to build the communities in which we live and put it in our hearts to give worthy causes. Bless the blind and all we do to serve mankind. Be with us till we meet again and bless our hands and homes. Amen LIONS PLEDGE I pledge my allegiance to my country and to the cause of peace throughout the world. I believe in the principles of Lionism as contained in the Lions Code of Ethics. I am proud to be a Lion dedicated to the service of others.

Ginger was a “Pilot Pup” raised by the Thornton family as a 4H project for Governor Steve’s daughter, Stacey. Ginger was received from Pilot Dogs when she was about six weeks old. The Thornton children had no idea she was about to invade their home until they returned from school and there she was. She lived with the family for about one year. During that time, she attended obedience training and became very well adjusted to family life. At the end of a year, she returned to Pilot Dogs and received her training. After graduation, she was placed with Francis, a blind lady from West Virginia. Studies have shown a future Pilot Dog has little chance of becoming a dog guide unless it is raised in a home and accustomed to playing with children, meeting strangers, having the opportunity to be near traffic and go through an obedience course. The Pilot Dog program places pups into homes at seven to 10 weeks of age. They will remain there until reaching the age of 12-14 months or until requested back by Pilot Dogs, Inc. All proceeds from the Pilot Dog Series will go to Pilot Dogs, Inc. For more information on raising puppies, go to www.pilotdogs.com or call 614-449-2136.
