Ice Social on Church Lawn--Aug 18 4 - 7 pm

Do you know anyone who is interested in visiting the School of the Infant Jesus in Port-au-Prince.  I'd like to have at least 2 first-time visitors from St. Simon Parish join me on the Lions Club medical mission in October 2012.  Proceeds from this ice cream social would be used to help with their expenses.

Here is what Sr. Josseline wrote when she learned that we will be visiting with two ophthalmologists.

"You see God's Providence is extraordinary. It was really hard to find an ophthalmologist available to come to the School of the Infant Jesus, it would cost us dearly enough.  God in his goodness and infinite mercy send us not one but two ophthalmologists, to treat children in need. Many thanks for this great kindness for the School of the Infant Jesus.  Please tell these benefactors many thanks for their generosity in adding the School of the Infant Jesus to their work.  We wish you in advance a warm welcome.

If the doctors do not have this club in Haiti, it would be a great opportunity to put "the Lions Club in Haiti".  There are many poor who can not do a medical consultation due to lack of economic means and what about the glasses.  Glasses cost about 4,000 (= US$ 800) Haitian gourdes at least."
