Recycling Eyeglasses, Hearing Aids and Cell Phones
The Waynesfield Lions Club is proud to be a major collector of used eyeglasses in the Auglaize County area and other surrounding communities. Collection boxes are placed in numerous locations (libraries, eye care centers, optometrists' offices etc.) and club members take responsibility to ensure that the boxes are emptied frequently.
Thanks to the efforts of Lions Past District Governor Barney Roll (Waynesfield Club member now deceased), there are almost 300 wooden collection boxes throughout Ohio and more than 250,000 pairs of recycled eyeglasses have already been delivered to the Lions International Eyeglass Recycling Center in Upland, Indiana. Most of the recycled glasses are distributed to people in need in developing countries where they will have the greatest impact. If you have eyeglasses to donate, please contact a Lions Club member.
The Good Program
The Good Program was established by Ron Derry of Baltimore, Ohio, a former schoolteacher and coach who was afflicted with blindness. The concept of The Good Program is to recognize young people who are not necessarily the "straight-A" students or the top athletes. The Good Program shines the spotlight on students who work hard and exhibit good citizenship and good personal and study habits. Waynesfield Lions sponsor this program in the Waynesfield-Goshen Local School District. Students are awarded certificates and T-shirts. Awards are presented at the end of the school year at the school award ceremony.
