VIP Artistic Showcase
Plans are being made for the second annual VIP Artistic Showcase to be held this November in a central Pittsburgh location. This year we will spotlight both the performing and fine arts. We hope to turn up the talent a notch and expand the number of participants. Artists of all ages who are visually impaired are invited to showcase their abilities. Performing artists may be singers, dancers, musicians, comedians, impersonators, or the like. The fine art exhibit might include painting, sculpture, woodworking, textiles, pottery, and more. Our goal is to spotlight the enormous artistic abilities of individuals who are blind or visually impaired.

Blind Bowlers Compete in Pittsburgh
More than 50 bowlers participated in the 31st Annual Keystone Blind Bowling Tournament held February 15-17 at Noble Manor Lanes in Greentree. Blind, visually impaired, and sighted bowlers from Florida, Maryland, Washington D.C., North Carolina, and Pennsylvania competed in four events. Bowlers from both blind bowling leagues in Pittsburgh (Steel Valley and Mon Valley) competed. Dozens of members from local Lions Clubs helped by spotting pins, selling tickets, and guiding participants. The King and Queen of this year’s banquet were Brian Reader from Washington D.C. and Sue Lichtenfels from Pittsburgh. They were the male and female who bowled most over their average in the 2007 tournament. Lions District 14-B Governor, Jay Wells spoke at this year’s banquet and helped to present the awards.
