FLATONIA LIONS CLUB - SERVICE PROJECTS
Monthly – Eyeglass Collection & Recycling
The Flatonia Lions Club participates in the “Lions Recycle for Sight Program” sponsored by Lions Club International. The goal of the program is to provide life changing sight enhancement to those in need. The program involves the collection of used eyeglasses from area providers and delivery of the glasses to regional Recycling Centers. Success is achieved through the tremendous support shown by the Fayette County businesses and residents.
