Have 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.
