Connie Burick PDG Gene Hoffmaster Memorial Walk for Sight Set for Saturday, April 14

2 The annual District 22-C Walk for Sight to benefit the Lions Vision Research Foundation (LVRF) of the Wilmer Eye Clinic is scheduled for Saturday, April 14, 2012 at Emmanuel United Methodist Church, Cedar Lane, Beltsville, Md. Start time has been set at 10:00 a.m. This year, the walk will be in tribute to PDG Gene Hoffmaster who passed away on Jan. 31. PDG Gene chaired this event every year since it was started. He served as Chairman of the LVRF in 1992, participated in every meeting since, and in every way enthusiastically supported the Lions Low Vision Center. A complimentary breakfast will be available for all attendees. Honorary Chairman and guest speaker is Dr. Robert Massof, Director of the Lions Low Vision Center at the Wilmer Eye Institute. Lions Clubs and individual Lions are encouraged to attend and to bring a donation for the Lions Vision Research Foundation. If you need directions, call PDG Ted Ladd at (home), (cell) or tedladd02@aol.com. LVRF needs your participation! Will you be there? Dr. Bob Massof s comments: When Gene Hoffmaster was the new chair of the LVRF Board in 1992, about a year after the dedication of the Lions Vision Center at the Johns Hopkins Wilmer Eye Institute, NASA announced that we would receive their Award for Excellence in Technology Transfer. The purpose of the award was to recognize the work we did developing the Low Vision Enhancement System (LVES) with the support of the NASA Office of Technology Utilization. NASA hosted a large award dinner at a hotel in Washington, at which many different awards were being given, and I was told I could bring one guest to the dinner. When I reported the upcoming award and event to the LVRF Board during the professional program, Chairman Gene was very excited about the honor and wanted to be sure that Wilmer s partnership with the Lions would be mentioned during the award ceremony. I assured him that if I were given the opportunity to speak, I most certainly would recognize LVRF and the Lions of MD 22. I then off-handedly commented that NASA was limiting me to one guest; otherwise I would invite the entire LVRF Board. Gene immediately reassured me there was no problem. He was sure everyone would understand that he was representing all Lions in MD 22 when he accompanied me. Gene not only volunteered to be my date, but also insisted that he drive me to the award dinner. Gene was a wonderful date! I rode to Washington in style and comfort and he was very attentive the entire evening. Gene posed for many pictures with NASA officials and other guests. He gave a big shout out from our table when the award was given and when I acknowledged our partnership with LVRF and the Lions Clubs of MD, DE, and DC. His enthusiasm infected the crowd and made the evening a much richer event and a greater honor than NASA could imagine. *See attachment Fundraiser for First Vice District Governor Don Beeson
