Lions' Braille Week Appeal

During the recently-held National Braille Week, the Gisbone Lions Club raised £1330 for the Blind Foundation from a telephone appeal.

Operating from several business houses in the city, and from the Post Office, members of the Lions Club and their supporters telephoned almost every household listed in the telephone directory in a period of less than three hours.
