July 23, 2008 (Narragansett, R.I.)…. The Rhode Island Lions Sight Foundation (RILSF) hosted their 1st Annual VIP Fishing Tournament for Visually Impaired Persons and their guests, on July 20, 2008, on the “Lady Frances” of the Frances Fleet in Galilee, R.I. The participants were vying for the opportunity to represent Rhode Island in the Nationals Competition at the North Carolina VIP Fishing Tournament in October 2008 on the Outer Banks. Representatives from several Lions Clubs in District 42 throughout Rhode Island assisted the competitors. Awards were given to the three participants who caught the largest fish, at a buffet lunch at Casey’s Restaurant in Wakefield, R.I. Trophies were given for 1st Place to Harold Jackson from Warwick, R.I.; 2nd Place to Mary-Jane Fry of Providence, R.I.; and 3rd Place to Mike Graichen of Smithfield, R.I. The winning fish was a 22 inch, four and a half pound Fluke. The Rhode Island Lions Sight Foundation was founded in 1961 as the charitable arm of the Lions Clubs of Rhode Island for the preservation of sight and aid to the visually impaired.
