Imagine children coming to school without being able to see a chalkboard. Adults driving without being able to see the traffic lights. People walking along the road, stumbling because they cannot see the obstacles lying in the middle of the road. Seniors who can't even read the newspaper. All just because they cannot afford an eye appointment or the glasses they need.
The LionsClub has been collecting eyeglasses for people in third-world countries for over 80 years. They take the eyeglasses collected, give people in third-world countries the eye appointments they need, and distribute the coolected glasses to those who need them.
As all three of us wear glasses (and we have close friends who do as well), this project is very personal to us. One of our goals is to collect 100 pairs of eyeglasses for this charity.

During the year 2013, in our effort to collect 100 pairs of eye glasses for Lions club, we found out that it was not an easy task to accomplish! However we were able to collect 28 pairs of glasses and they are all packed and ready to be mailed to the Lions Club collection center in Midland, TX.
