| Club projects: Highway Cleanup 4 times per year. Our club was the first entity to participate in the "adopt a highway program." Early Childhood Vision Screening-- A joint project with the Frontier and Noon Lions. Preschool children are screened using a special stereo Polaroid camera. Eye care professional can screen for a variety of early childhood vision problems such as amblyopia by reviewing the photos. This important project helps identify problems that may be corrected in early childhood, but if undetected until later are incurable. Our new equipment for vision screening is capable of doing the screening on the spot, and printing appropriate letters to parents. This saves time getting the referral in the hands of the parent and the time of the eye care professional it takes to review the picture. Ride for Sight -- The 18th annual Ride for Sight is our major fund raiser for the year. The second Sunday in August (August 8, 2010) is the date for our 100 mile supported bike ride. Our major co-sponsor is The Cheyenne Eye Clinic. We provide four rest stops for a fifty mile out and back route over the prairie of southeast Wyoming. As many as 175 riders from all over the state and the region participate in this event. Funds from riders and other sponsors provide funds for a variety of programs: Early Childhood Vision Screening Project Rocky Mountain Lions Eye Bank Rocky Mountain Lions Eye Institute Foundation Allen H. Stewart Lions Camp Lions International Foundation Leader Dog Lions of Wyoming Foundation Assistance for local citizens needing help with treatment for hearing and vision disabilities. |
