Lions Clubs International meet at the Lion of Scotland, Edinburgh

The Lions Clubs International President, Sid Scruggs from North Carolina is in Edinburgh for the Lions Club annual Board Meeting. This short film introduced by Howard Lee, records a more informal meeting with some of the Scottish Lions at Ronald Rae's Lion of Scotland sculpture in St Andrew Square, Edinburgh to promote one of their major campaigns - to collect used spectacles to send to developing countries. A giant pair of spectacles to fit the Lion sculpture was specially made for this event by a graduate of Edinburgh College of Art. The heavy rain that prevailed did not spoil the happy occasion. Ronald Rae was delighted to have his Lion help spread the news about the good work of the Lions. He hopes too that it will also help him find a permanent home for the magnificent 20 tonne granite Lion.
