The Sayreville Club participated in Sayreville Day on September 19th.  The District 16D Eye Mobile was on hand to provide sight screening to those who chose to participate.  Our sight conservation activities are active throughout the year.  We recycle used eyeglasses and hearing aids and provide assistance to those who need eyeglasses but can't afford them.

Our Spring 2011 Pancake Breakfast was held on April 17th from 8:00AM until Noon at the Sayreville  War Memorial High School on Washington Road.  Proceeds support community projects.   Many thanks to the Girl Scouts who helped make the breakfast a success.  We appreciate their assistance.

Also, thanks to the community for supporting this project and also our White Cane Sale which was held on April 14th and 15th at ShopRite of Parlin.  Special thanks to ShopRite Management for allowing us to run this program for two days this year.  The Club has sponsored the Lions International Peace Poster contest in the Middle School in prior years and did so again this year. The winners were  honored at a dinner and received cash awards for their efforts.

The Sayreville Lions Club  eyeglass recycling program has the goal of promoting eyeglass collection and recycling to meet the demand for quality eyeglasses in developing nations.  A collection mailbox is provided at the rear of the Borough Hall on Main Street in Sayreville. The Sayreville/South Amboy Girl Scout Troup 80835 is also collecting prescription eyewear and non-prescription sunglasses as a community service project with OneSight and Lions Clubs International. Drop offs can be made at the places designated by the Scouts or at the Lions collection mailbox.

 Lions International has recognized the Sayreville Club for its leadership and growth.   The Club provided three cash awards and a $1,600 scholarship  to the members of the 2010 graduating class of SWMHS selected by the faculty. The Club  also contributed $2,850 to various State approved sight projects during the 2009-10 fiscal year.  These contributions are in addition to the high school awards and other support provided to the community throughout the year totalling $5,035. Descriptions of the State approved projects are available on the NJ State Lions website http://www.njlions.org.
