Your donation of used eyeglasses is gratefully appreciated.
We also appreciate contributions of used electronic magnifiers that can be used by those suffering from eye problems such as macular degeneration which prevents them from reading. These devices have a digital camera to focus on a book or printed material and feed it to a TV screen, magnifying the image so they can read again when they couldn't without it. If you have such a unit to contribute please contact us by clicking here to e-mail
All of these items are processed and passed on to others who can benefit from their use.
Lions Code of Ethics
TO SHOW my faith in the worthiness of my vocation by industrious application to the end that I may merit a reputation for quality of service.
TO SEEK success and to demand all fair remuneration or profit as my just due, but to accept no profit or success at the price of my own self-respect lost because of unfair advantage
taken or because of questionable acts on my part.
TO REMEMBER that in building up my business it is not necessary to tear down another’s; to be loyal to my clients or customers and true to myself.
WHENEVER a doubt arises as to the right or ethics of my position or action towards others, to resolve such doubt against myself.
TO HOLD friendship as an end and not a means. To hold that true friendship exists not on account of the service performed by one another, but that true friendship demands nothing
but accepts service in which it is given.
ALWAYS to bear in mind my obligations as a citizen to my nation, my state and my community, and to give them my unswerving loyalty in word, act and deed. To give them freely
of my time, labor, and means.
TO AID others by giving my sympathy to those in distress, my aid to the weak, and my substance to the needy.
TO BE CAREFUL with my criticism and liberal with my praise; to build up and not destroy.
