PLEASANT VALLEY LIONS CLUB TO COLLECT EYEGLASSES
The Pleasant Valley [Camarillo-Somis] Lions Club will be collecting used eyeglasses for recycling to people who are visually impaired all over the world. Lions Clubs International has been collecting and refurbishing used eyeglasses since 1925. Channel Islands Woodturning Association member, John Knittle, will be collecting used eyeglasses at both the April and May meeting. After collecting the used eyeglasses they will be sent to the Avanal State Prison, where they will be cleaned, determined what the prescription is and then sent to various Lion's Eye Medical centers worldwide for distribution. What may seem like a little thing here in America, an old pair of glasses, may be a life saver to a person who has never seen properly due to the lack of a pair of eyeglasses. Pleasant Valley Lions Club asks for your support in the continuing effort to improve vision worldwide.
