Your unwanted glasses can help someone else see better!
Our service project this month is a partnership with the Lions Club. We will gather old—but usable—eyeglasses all month long. The Lions Club will have the frames fixed (if needed), and measure, classify, and refurbish the glasses. They are then redistributed around the world through service organization partners who do international missions.
We are finalizing plans for our Community Based NAMI (National Alliance on Mental Illness) Walks this spring and are hopeful to partner with Rotarians once again to highlight Rotary's international focus on mental health in the communities we serve, showcase local resources and services supporting mental health, raise awareness and debunk stigma against mental illness, and raise money for a good cause.
