Helping the visually impaired with recycled eyeglasses

The Campolindo High School Leo Club and Moraga Lions Club conducted an eyeglass sorting event Nov. 14 at the Hacienda de Las Flores. The group consisted of nine Leos, six Lions and four Moraga residents and in a few hours they sorted 8,000 eyeglasses that had been donated for recycle.
Each year Lions clubs in California collect many thousands of used eyeglasses, which are sorted, cleaned and sent to local prisons where the prescription will be assigned before the glasses are sent to third world countries where local Lions Clubs will distribute them to the visually impaired.
In past years the Leos and Lions would usually process around 4,000 eyeglasses and this year's event set a record for both clubs.
For more information about the Eyeglass Collection or Recycle, contact Lion Bob Murtagh at rmurtagh62@yahoo.com
