Lapel Pins, Patches & Coins

Every year here at We Belong we attend the Lions Club International Indiana Midwinter Conference, which is always a great time, but this year I will remember above the rest.  A couple of months ago we had the pleasure of creating a custom lions pin for the local Leo's members of the Indiana School for the Blind and Visually Impaired.  Mr. Lovati was a true gentlemen to work with and had the great idea of using braille as the only text for the Lions Club Pin design.  In the end we produced an absolutely great design.

Fast forward two months to January 8th, 2011 to the Lions Club International Indiana Midwinter Conference and I had the pleasure of meeting not just Mr. Lovati, but also several students from the school.  Each and every one of the students was proudly wearing their custom made lions pin and each came by our booth to express their gratitude for us having made them.  They were thrilled they finally had their own custom lions pin just like the 'grown ups' that sponsor them.  The lions club emblem turned out to be a great lions fundraising idea for them, and it was a pleasure to see all of their smiling faces as we met them.

I will always appreciate the thank you note they typed for me in braille as it is displayed proudly in my office.
