  20. Ask Me How! : Get Involved! • Make CSFII a part of your daily life • Consider your own personal gift or pledge to the campaign • Encourage your club to organize events • Seek support from non-Lions by taking the message of CSFII to your community

  21. Ask Me When! : Start Today! • Blindness will not wait • One child goes blind every minute • By the end of 2006, one-half million will have needlessly lost their sight • To be successful, we will need worldwide support, as well as assistance from our friends and neighbors in our home communities
