Welcome to our Third Annual "Night of Laughs". I thank all of you who have giving your time and resources in order to make this event a success. It is because of all of you. we are able to donate to various programs both locally and world wide. Efforts in our community include the support of Haverhill High School and fulfilling of numerous requests for eye glasses and visual aid equipment. Our state involvement includes Massachusetts Lions Eye Research; many of today's breakthroughs in vision have come from this foundation to scientific research.

The Lions are also a strong supporter of the Lazarus Program ~ this is the organ donor program associated with the Registry of Motor Vehicles. We are also involved in curing and preventing blindness worldwide and disaster relief, most recently Hurricane Katrina.

So as you can see your help in any amount goes to worthy causes. I ask you now to sit back and enjoy the evening. If you have any questions or interest in our association feel free to speak to any of our members this evening or contact us at www.haverhilllionsclub.org.

On behalf of all off our members, thank you again and let the "Night of Laughs" begin!

Sincerely,
F. Daniel Hickey, Jr.,
2005-2006 President
