Last year 72 attended the Texas Center for the Blind. Last summer 317 campers attended the camp for diabetic children, and 721 attended the camp for handicapped children. John Stanislaw, chairman of the Noon Lions Club committee which selects candidates for the camps, said his group nominates as many candidates as they can find. “We won’t turn them down unless they just run out of room,” he said. Stanislaw said he would especially like to see children from married students at Texas A&M attend. “That segment of the population has been left out,” he said. The six Lions Clubs in College Station and Bryan each sponsor three to four children. “All of us work together,” Hannigan said. All three programs are free to par ticipants. Donations to the Lions Clubs and member dues finance the programs. Applications and specific dates for the camps are available at all Lions Clubs.
