During my time as a Literacy Consultant with the Clark County Library District in Las Vegas, Nevada, the Lions Club assisted our clients with gaining access to ophthalmology services and in fulfilling prescriptions for eye glasses.
The Lions Club changed the lives of so many; individuals who have been unable to see clearly, many for years, were once again given the gift of sight. Thanks to the dedication and devotion of the Lions Club, our clients were able to meet their goals of successfully completing English language courses, getting jobs and reading to their children.
