n just about any home here in Fairfield Bay or the surrounding area, one can find a pair of eyeglasses that are no longer being used. That same pair of eyeglasses can help change another persons life. That’s why Lions around the world, including here in Fairfield Bay, have the Lions Recycle for Sight program. Everyone can help. Throughout the year donation of no longer needed glasses are accepted at the Lions Den on Dave Creek Parkway or in collection boxes at the Post Office and various banks here in the Bay. A couple of times a year, the glasses are taken by a Lion volunteer to North Little Rock and most of the recycled glasses are distributed to people in need in developing countries where they will have the greatest impact. So, if you have prescription glasses or sunglasses or, like us, just unused cheaters (amazing how we have to keep getting stronger ones) bring them to one of our collection points and help the Lions help others.
