Lions Club seeks donations Editor, Belfair Heraldz Soon you may be approached by a member of North Mason Lions Club seeking a donation for one of our many projects. I think it is important to review the ac- tivities and contributions the North Mason Lions Club makes to our community. During the past year, and on into the coming year, Lions continue their impor- tant work. We have provided hearing aids and eyeglasses to people who are unable to afford them. We have collected over 500 pairs of glasses that will be recycled and used throughout the world. Our club gave fimr $500 vocational scholar- ships to last year's North Mason High School graduates. The Christmas giving tree, sponsored by Lions, provided over 220 gifts to local children who may not have otherwise received presents. We also sponsor two middle- school contests, the Peace Poster and an essay project. Many stu- dents participate wlth the chance of being International Lions win- ners. In addition, the Lions gave support to the Hawkins Middle School Washington, D.C., trip, the Boys and Girls Club, the Polar Plunge, Grapeview School fund, and donated over $1,800 annually to the North Mason Food Bank. Using the district Lions health van, in December we screened sight and hearing for 726 elemen- tary students from Belfair and Grapeview. Our club does road cleanup on Highway 3 from Allyn to Belfair. North Mason Lions' major fund-raisers include two pancake breakfasts, Belfair Summerfest, June 26-27, and Allyn Days, July 17. Each spring our club members design and build an arbor which we raffle at a dollar per chance, the winner being drawn during Allyn Days. The annual pecan sale prior to Christmas generates additional funds to support our activities. We sell Entertainment Books, have newspaper recycling bins in Belfair and Allyn, and the Lions mints seen in many local busi- nesses contribute to our budget. In May, White Cane Day sup- ports the Northwest Eye Bank lo- cated in Seattle. The entire amount collected on White Cane Day, $2,000 each of the last three years, goes to this important cen- ter. Over 10,000 cornea trans- plants have been performed to date, helped largely by White Cane sales. Our club membership current- ly totals 35. We are always look- ing for new people wishing to be- come active members. Anyone in- terested should contact either Cal Wartman at (360) 275-8391 or George Chessum at (360) 275- 2496. We thank the community for their generous support of Lions events. Giles Swanson Allyn Supports Home Rule Editor, Belfair Herald: What makes our country so great is our ability to effect posi- tive change in our government. When we are unhappy with our government, we are very fortu- nate to have very powerful tools with' which to make change. The freeholder petition being circulat- ed in our community represents, to me, democracy at its very best. It is about Home Rule, local control and a greater voice in gov- ernment. While attending the freeholders informational meet- ing, I was struck with the parallel between America's first colonial- ists and the Mason .County citi- zens in attendance: they both spoke of the need for a greater voice in their destiny. The petition is the first step. The second step is to ask a group of fellow citizens to draft a county charter that restructures our gov- ernment. Then we will all have a chance to vote on the proposed changes. The Home Rule petition is not about taxes, growth management or Bill Quigley. It is about the average citizen's role in shaping our local government. I whole- heartedly support the intent of the petition and urge my fellow community members to get in- volved. Mike Greene Belfair Disagrees with editorial Editor, Belfair Herald : I read with interest the editori- al in the April 8, 1999, Belfair tterald. Until, that is, I came to the last paragraph. Mr. Rick Stedman would have us believe only "Professionals " can decide what is right for "all" children. Mr. Stedman, with that state- ment, you lost it. This demeans all men, women, mothers and fa- thers. You failed to note Mrs. Lee Anne Martinez is a "professional." She has a major in Special Educa- tion and a major in Elementary Education. It would have been much easi- er for Mrs. Martinez to have ac- cepted a substitute book for her son and not gone through this emotional turmoil. However, as a professional, she felt she had the duty to all children to draw atten- tion to this book, which, has been recommended for seventh grade and up by the writers. Give us the facts and let us decide. By the way, I am qualified to teach and test English as a sec- ond language. Never once in 12 years of teaching non-English speaking graduate students did I feel it necessary to teach any- thing but pure English and not use the crutch of cuss words or blasphemy. Margaret G.

I think it is important to review the ac- tivities and contributions the North Mason Lions Club makes to our community. During the past year, and on into the coming year, Lions continue their impor- tant work. We have provided hearing aids and eyeglasses to people who are unable to afford them. We have collected over 500 pairs of glasses that will be recycled and used throughout the world. Our club gave fimr $500 vocational scholar- ships to last year's North Mason High School graduates. The Christmas giving tree, sponsored by Lions, provided over 220 gifts to local children who may not have otherwise received presents. We also sponsor two middle- school contests, the Peace Poster and an essay project. Many stu- dents participate wlth the chance of being International Lions win- ners. In addition, the Lions gave support to the Hawkins Middle School Washington, D.C., trip, the Boys and Girls Club, the Polar Plunge, Grapeview School fund, and donated over $1,800 annually to the North Mason Food Bank. Using the district Lions health van, in December we screened sight and hearing for 726 elemen- tary students from Belfair and Grapeview. Our club does road cleanup on Highway 3 from Allyn to Belfair. North Mason Lions' major fund-raisers include two pancake breakfasts, Belfair Summerfest, June 26-27, and Allyn Days, July 17. Each spring our club members design and build an arbor which we raffle at a dollar per chance, the winner being drawn during Allyn Days. The annual pecan sale prior to Christmas generates additional funds to support our activities. We sell Entertainment Books, have newspaper recycling bins in Belfair and Allyn, and the Lions mints seen in many local busi- nesses contribute to our budget. In May, White Cane Day sup- ports the Northwest Eye Bank lo- cated in Seattle. The entire amount collected on White Cane Day, $2,000 each of the last three years, goes to this important cen- ter. Over 10,000 cornea trans- plants have been performed to date, helped largely by White Cane sales. Our club membership current- ly totals 35. We are always look- ing for new people wishing to be- come active members. Anyone in- terested should contact either Cal Wartman at (360) 275-8391 or George Chessum at (360) 275- 2496. We thank the community for their generous support of Lions events.

When we are unhappy with our government, we are very fortu- nate to have very powerful tools with' which to make change. The freeholder petition being circulat- ed in our community represents, to me, democracy at its very best. It is about Home Rule, local control and a greater voice in gov- ernment.

Mr. Rick Stedman would have us believe only "Professionals " can decide what is right for "all" children. Mr. Stedman, with that state- ment, you lost it. This demeans all men, women, mothers and fa- thers. You failed to note Mrs. Lee Anne Martinez is a "professional." She has a major in Special Educa- tion and a major in Elementary Education. It would have been much easi- er for Mrs. Martinez to have ac- cepted a substitute book for her son and not gone through this emotional turmoil. However, as a professional, she felt she had the duty to all children to draw atten- tion to this book, which, has been recommended for seventh grade and up by the writers. Give us the facts and let us decide. By the way, I am qualified to teach and test English as a sec- ond language.
