<p>[QUOTE=&quot;yourturntoloveit, post: 30537, member: 57&quot;]<u>Snipsa</u>, I hope you don&#039;t mind if I reminisce a bit about being a child a long time ago and each year or six months a Lion&#039;s Club member would come to our house selling brooms to raise money to aid the blind.&nbsp; My mother always bought a Lion&#039;s Club broom (because it was for a good cause <u>and</u> because she said they were very good brooms -- I remember they were heavy/sturdy brooms with long &quot;straws&quot; and a brightly colored wooden handle).</p><p><br /></p><p>I found an interesting article on-line (see link below) with the history of the&nbsp;&nbsp; makers of the brooms and the selling of the brooms by the Lion&#039;s Club members.&nbsp; The Lion&#039;s Club still works with sight-impaired people all over the world.&nbsp; One of our local Lion&#039;s Clubs still gathers old eyeglasses (frames/lenses) to refurbish and give to people to aid in their vision.</p><p><br /></p><p><a href="https://www.envisionus.com/Pages/About/History.aspx" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.envisionus.com/Pages/About/History.aspx" rel="nofollow">https://www.envisionus.com/Pages/About/History.aspx</a>[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
