In addition, the hard-working volunteers and Lions members had a big first week, visiting local schools and doing vision-screening with the Senior Kindergarten children.

More than 200 children were tested in various vision-screening stations. Many more children will be seen in the coming weeks. The Lions stickers are a huge hit with the youngsters. Thanks, in advance, to all the volunteers.
