Throughout the year eyeglasses no longer being used are collected by the Ballston Spa Lions Club and sent overseas to Lions International operated sight clinics. After a vision test each patient receives prescription appropriate lenses and frames at no cost. To improve lives through good vision and to prevent blindness is the primary mission of the Lions Club.

* Ballston Spa National Bank, 87 Front Street
