Lions Host VIP’s (Visually Impaired Persons) for Day on the Lake

1 IF BY LAND—2 IF BY SEA (OR LAKE)!  They arrived by bus and by boat and some by car.  And they all had a great time.  Saturday, July 29th the Whitewater Lions Club hosted the B O L D (Blind Outdoor Leisure Development) fishing and fun day on the water.  The Lions greeted the VIPs (Visually Impaired Persons), their family members, chaperones, and guide dogs.  After enjoying a great lunch of brats, burgers, salads and yummy homemade desserts, the guests were guided to the Whitewater Lakeshore where they met the members of the Lake Association who volunteered to take some of them to go fishing.  Others had the option of cruising the lake or even waterskiing, assisted by members of the Southern Wakes United Waterskiing Team, The Boat House, and Whitewater Lake Boat Rentals.

A very tired group of the VIP’s, Lions, and fantastic volunteers returned to the clubhouse for some refreshments and awards for best fish, waterskiing, tubing, and having a great day in the sun.
