Don’t forget the Lion’s Club Recycle for Sight Program

Submitted by a Lion, Bob Since the Lions‚ International Convention in 1925, when Helen Keller challenged the Lions to become The Knights of the Blind, Lions‚ Clubs around the world have been working to meet that challenge through several important programs. One of those programs is „Recycle for Sight‰ which matches your donated eyeglasses (prescription and non-prescription) to needy people worldwide. In most developing countries, an eye exam can cost as much as one month‚s wages and a single eye doctor may serve a community of hundreds of thousands of people. Look around your home in dresser drawers and closets, in your workplace and in your car‚s console or glove compartment, you may find you have old glasses, outdated prescription glasses, reading or sunglasses. Even if they are in need of repair, they all can help someone to be able to see better. Just since 1990, the Lions vision programs have prevented severe vision loss or restored sight to 27 million people, that‚s more than the combined populations of New York and Tokyo. The generosity of the local businesses to be collection points for our program is greatly appreciated and we urge you to patronize them. Look for the Lions Recycle for Sight collection boxes at the following locations: Bailey‚s General Store, Jerry‚s Foods, Bank of the Islands, Snead Cataract/Eye Physicians, Island Pharmacy, the Island Seniors Center, the Sanibel Library, the Sanibel Post Office and Periwinkle Park. There is also a collection box at South Seas Resort on Captiva. The Lions would like to express our appreciation for contributing to the project's success by serving as convenient drop-off centers. Founded in 1917, Lions Clubs International is the world‚s largest service club organization with nearly 1.35 million members in approximately 45,000 clubs in 200 countries and geographical areas around the world.
