In addition, we will have a special exhibit spotlighting LCIF s 50 th anniversary and the works/impact of our Foundation. As technology becomes more and more prevalent in our day-to-day lives, there will be a Tech Zone inside the exhibit hall with tech wizards who will teach mini-sessions on social media (from absolute novice to more experienced users), as well as be available to give one-on-one assistance to attendees with any tech-related questions. Last year they helped attendees use their mobile phones more efficiently; shared some great apps with Lions; and much more.

16 Lions Club International Convention (LCICon) 2018 So, it s your first time in Vegas? Perfect! We can help you plan a trip. Vegas is a place unlike any other city in the world. Where else can you go from Paris Eiffel Tower, to the canals of Venice, to downtown New York City in just a few blocks? With endless possibilities, knowing what to bring to Vegas isn t always straightforward. But we re here to help you prepare and be your checklist s jump-start to think of the things you may not have thought of! Alright, let s do this! Your trip starts on the plane. If you want to arrive feeling your best, prepare to hit the town. Here are a few travel ideas to get you started on the right foot. Lip balm, earplugs, hand sanitizer, eye drops. The climate there (as well as on airplanes) is very dry, so be sure to keep your lips, hands and eyes moisturized. Leave space in your carry-on and suitcase for souvenirs. Vegas is almost overwhelming with shopping opportunities, from small souvenir shops to high-end fashion retailers, so you ll want some extra space. Shoes for walking, shoes for show. We can t emphasize this enough. Be prepared with the proper and appropriate footwear. Visitors can do a lot of walking around there, from strolling the Strip to hiking the surrounding areas, so you ll need the right shoes. But then, there are nice restaurants and clubs where hiking gear won t quite cut it. Pack smart and be prepared for both. Bring a light sweater or blazer. You read that right. You might just need a warm cover while you re there. Oh, sure, it s plenty warm outside, but the casinos are not stingy with the A/C, so be prepared. Sun hat. It should be no surprise that the weather there tends to be warm and sunny. A good (and cute!) sun hat could be your most underrated trip-saver. Whether walking the Strip, sitting by the pool or out for a hike, keeping the sun off your head is key to keeping your energy level up so you can keep on going! 16

17 ISBVI FUNDRAISERS TRIKE RACE AND DISC GOLF TOURNAMENT APRIL 22 EVENT RESCHEDULED TO SEPTEMBER 16, 2018 Due to an unseasonably long spring, your ISBVI Trustees are rescheduling our annual fundraiser from this spring to mid-fall --- for better weather and to give you more time to practice! We have received feedback from several prior participating schools that they would like to participate, but that a Fall date would better suit their current school schedules. Moving the event to the fall will also provide a more suitable date for students from the ISBVI to participate. We have capacity for approximately 25 Trike teams and 25 Disc Golf teams so we hope your clubs will continue to promote these valuable events to support the mission of your State Project and the ISBVI s statewide outreach services to our blind and visually impaired students in all your districts. If your club has already sent in registration forms for the trike race/disc golf originally scheduled for April 22, we would invite you to carry your sponsorships and team registrations forward to the fall event date. We will be contacting you for confirmation of carry-forward to the fall event. If you have any questions in the meantime, contact Chair Pat Short (lionpatshort@aol.com) or Event Coordinator Lion Pat Henninger (iwtlions@gmail.com). Thank you for your continued support of the ISBVI Lions State Project. 17
