Lions Club glassesHave you noticed what looks like a mailbox in front of Sacred Heart with the large eyes and glasses on top?  It is really a drop box to recycle eyeglasses.

It's been one hundred years since a business man in Chicago named Melvin Jones founded the Lions Club.  At a convention in 1925 Helen Keller asked Lions attending to be advocates for the Blind.  Lions International then asked clubs to come up with a project to celebrate the founding.  I'm sure you've seen the little box in the hallway to collect used glasses that we send to be refurbished so they can be re-used for those unable to afford a pair.  Well, now you can dig those out of where you'be been keeping them, pull right up to the box with the Lion's emblem, and drop them in!  Thank you.
