The Sand Lake Lions Club are doing their part to help combat blindness. And they are doing it by targeting one of our most prized possessions—our children.
On Saturday, December 11, the Sand Lake Lions Club will be doing a Project Kidsight vision photo-screening for children ages 1-5 at the Sand Lake/Nelson Township Library, following the Santa Claus parade at 9:30 a.m. An adult must be present and sign permission for them to be tested.
The Sand Lake Lion Club is part of Lions Club International, founded in 1917. They are active men and women in more than 206 countries and geographic areas. By conducting vision screenings, equipping hospitals and clinics, distributing medicine and raising awareness of eye disease, Lions work toward their mission of providing vision for all. But they also volunteer for many different kinds of community projects—including caring for the environment, feeding the hungry and aiding seniors and the disabled.
