HAVE SOME OLD EYEGLASSES??

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.

Gather unwanted glasses at the office!

Ask your neighbors!

Bring glasses to Rotary meetings.

NAMI WALKS IN MAY

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.

NAMI Walks Twin Falls will unofficially kick off our Rotary District 5400 Conference on May 3rd, to be followed by our Pocatello event on May 10, Boise event on May 24, and Idaho Falls event on June 14. We'd love to get even more Rotarians involved this year, coming together in fellowship to support a great cause, raise awareness, and have fun!
