SEE PAGE 7 FOR DETAILS SUSQUEHAN nA ‘TIMES SUSQUEHANNA TIMES & THE MOUNT JOY BULLETIN MARIETTA AND MOUNT JOY, PA FIFTEEN CENTS Vol. 79, Ne. 7, February 7, 1979 Jim Roberts, owner of the Mount Joy Western Auto store, is also President of the Mount Joy Lions Club. Obviously, Jim is a very busy man. The Mount Joy Lions Club is well known and appreci- ated by many residents of the Mount Joy area who swim in the cool water of the Lions’ pool on hot summer days. The Mount participated in founding another very useful local institution: the Norlanco Family Health Center. A Lions’ committee on which borough council president Charles Ricedorf served was instrumental in getting the Center started. But many people are unaware of the good works that the Lions are constantly performing. “Our main thrust,” says President Roberts, *‘is sight conservation.’’ Here are some .of the services and institutions to which the Mount Joy Lions contribute every year, to help people keep their vision and to help the blind to lead happier and more useful lives: —Pennsylvania Sight Con- servation; —Northeast Eye Bank; —Wills Eye Hospital; —Leader Dog; —Beacon Lodge; —Lancaster County Association; —Four Diamonds Fund of Hershey Medical Center; —help pay medical expens- es of children suffering from cancer; —buy glasses for needy people in area; —Pennsylvania Eye Pavil- ion at Wills Eye Hospital; —send individuals with poor sight to Beacon Lodge; —transport local residents to ceramics classes at the Lancaster County Biird Association; —the Faco Emulsifier As- pirator at Lancaster Gen- eral Hospital. The Faco Emulsifier As- pirator is a recent invention which corrects cataracts without a surgical operation and without the long recuperatior following an operation. Joy Lions Blind Jim Roberts, president of the Mount Joy Lions In addition to contributing to services that help to preserve sight, the Lions, according to Roberts, have in the last few years also begun contributing to hear- ing conservation. Last year the Mount Joy Lions sponsored two campers at Camp Hebron. Another activity mention- ed by Roberts which the Mount Joy Lions contribute to, is sponsoring two local high school juniors to participate in a seminar to develop their _ leadership talents. Still another in what seems like an endless list of the local Lions’ interest, is the Mount Joy Library, to which they also contribute. Halloween Fun Night at the Junior High is sponsor- ed by the Lions. Where do the Lions get all the money for their many donations? Well, some of it comes from their own pockets, but other citizens can also contribute to their many worth causes by participat- ing in: —the annual spring Broom and Bulb sale; —the Fruit Cake sale every Christmas; —the Pancake Breakfasts at the beginning of hunting and fishing sea- sons; —White Cane Day, when the Lions collect donat- ions outside local banks; —the Merchandise Club; —the Barbecued Chicken Sale. As President Roberts describes the activities of the local Lions, they help a great many people. They also provide an opportunity for everyone to assist them in their many good deeds. Jim, his wife Sharon, and daughter Michelle, S, have become essential members of the Mount Joy community in only five years since they first moved here. Before becoming President of the Lions last July, Jim had served as President of the Mount Joy Merchants Asso- ciation. Jim was originally from the York area and managed Woolworth stores before acquiring the Mount Joy Western Auto. Too tired to stand up, Sherri Kinsey celebrates her team’s big win over Hempfield from a sitting position. She is joined by Sharon Hershey, the game’s high scorer. The rest of the team celebrates in more conventional postures. STORY ON BACK PAGE. Get crafty If you are planning to enter Craft Day, entry forms arc now available in several locations.
