““Will you not help me hasten the day when there shall be no preventable blindness; no little deaf, blind child untaught; no blind man or woman unaided?
I appeal to you Lion, you who have your sight, your hearing, you who are strong and brave and kind.
Will you not constitute yourselves knights of the blind in this crusade against darkness?””
Thanks to the generosity of many, the Manchester CT Lions Club raised $9,150 to benefit the Fidelco Guide Dog Foundation at the 26th Annual Fenix Bowling Tournament. An official check presentation took place on Saturday, July 27th, at Fidelco headquarters in Bloomfield, CT.
To the hard-working staff and puppy raisers of Fidelco - thank you! They play crucial roles in developing and training guide dogs for visually impaired and blind individuals. A special thank you goes to John and Pat Garoppolo, who started this tournament many years ago in honor of John's beloved Fidelco Guide Dog, Fenix.
