Glasses Galore

Nearly 20 members of the Putnam Lions Club and Putnam Leos packaged more than 2,000 eyeglasses to be recycled and reused in Third World countries.  Most of the used eyeglasses have been collected throughout the year primarily through the use of the Lion’s Sight Mobile where the public can drop off the glasses through a specially marked window.  This year’s collection also included glasses collected by the Danielson Lions. The total collected and packaged were 2,061 glasses.  After packaging the glasses are sent to New Jersey where an International Lion’s center will clean and grade them before they are sent to developing and third world countries.
