Music helps bring light to dark world


For funds from Clith­


eroe Lions Summer Con­ cert have contributed to a global appeal aimed at helping restore the sight of blind people in every


nation of the world. With the musical talents


of Manchester’s Vivaldi Chamber Orchestra,


around 190 people were entertained at the concert on Saturday, organised to raise funds for Campaign


First Sight. The concert held at


Stonvhurst’s Centenaries Theatre was the culmina­


tion of a year’s hard work bv Clitheroe Lions Club, which was set a target of raising £100 per member. The 25 members put on their thinking caps and soon came up with several events to help raise funds towards the worldwide campaign target of ilOU


million. With a great deal of ,


hard work, members have surpassed the £2.500 mark


and smashed their tmhvid- ual targets of £100. Clitheroe Lions public


relations officer Mr Geof- fi-ev Hraithwaite described the news as “ absolutely fantastic” and said the people of the Ribble Val­


iev would benefit. ’••We are hoping to put


some money back into the area, but if we are fortu­ nate to find that there is
