Acclaimed as America's leading illusionist and foremost inventor
of magical effects, Andre Kole' , has mystified hundreds of millions in
the last 12 years with elaborate and baffling full-stage productions of
f 58 and a illusion. Spending more than 60% of his time each year on tour, he
md gusty 1 and his family have performed throughout the United States and in
Chance of more than 68 countries in North and South America, Europe, Asia
and Africa. Millions of other individuals have witnessed his incredible
talent via special televised appearances aired in more than 40 countries
"^and several hundred copies of his two films now circulating worldwide.
To date, Mr. Kole'has addressed more than 3,250 separate university
audiences.
A number of years ago, Andre Kole" was challenged to investigate
the miracles of Christ from the viewpoint of an illusionist. In making
this investigation, he discovered some facts that changed the entire
„„„ course of his life.

“They all love it, Hannigan said.
“We have lots of repeaters every
year.”
The children at the Texas Lions
Camp for Diabetic Children partici
pate in similar activities. The chil
dren learn how to manage their
diets and give themselves insulin in
jections.
After the summer camp sessions
are over, the facilities at Kerrville
are used by the Texas Center for the
Blind.
Clients stay at the center for three
to four months and study a rehabili
tation program which includes
orientation and mobility, com
municative skills, (like Braille and
typing), handicrafts and home
maintenance.
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.
