Brookfield Lions Support Guide Dogs

At the Annual Guiding Eyes for the Blind Salute to the Lions Day at their Training Center, Brookfield Lions President Lyn Lyon (pictured right) presented a check for $4,000 in support of Guiding Eyes General Fund and Healing Autism Program. After the formal portion of the program the members had time to play with the puppies and visited future guide dogs in their kennels.
