Operation KidSight:
From September throught October of 2025 Ann Arbor Lions with volunteers from the Delta Gamma Soriety from University of Michigan, and Lions from the Ann Arbor Evening Club and Huron Valley Sunrise Club were able to screen the eyes of over 120 preschool children at various preschools in the Ann Arbor/Ypsilanti area. Volunteers put in over 30 hours of time and thanks to their work and the partnership with preschools, 9 children were identified as needing additional screening for vision issues. When vision issues are caught and corrected before children enter kindergarten, they don't fall behind in reading and writing.
