Metro KidSight Success Noted by Parents
To the good people at Lion's Eye Club:
Last week at a church preschool in Elkhart, IN, our 4-year-old son, Owen, received an eye screening. Owen was sent home with a referal to see an eye doctor. In the following days, we took Owen to see the eye doctor that his father and I both use. As it turns out, Owen has the same condition as I do! I too was diagnosed at a young age but my disease was much more progressed than what Owen's is presently. The eye doctor, Dr. Steve Gerber, agreed that we have Lion's Eye Club to thank for an early diagnosis. Knowing that we have family history of eye problems we keep a close eye on our children's eyes; watching for crossed eyes, straining when reading, etc. Owen has so far shown none of that. We are so grateful for the screening Lion's Eye Club did at our small town preschool. Owen will need glasses but the outlook for his future is good! Thank you so much for doing what you do in helping to diagnosis and manage vision problems in our children. We are thrilled to know now, through a screening, that Owen has a vision problem rather than to wait until he is showing clinical signs. Thank you again for all that you at Lion's Eye Club do!

3rd Graders Receive Dictionaries in Elkhart Area
Over 1200 third grade students in public and private schools in the boundaries of the Elkhart Community School Corporation are the recipients of new dictionaries. The project was a joint effort of the Elkhart and Elkhart Community Lions Clubs. According to our chairman, Dee Nix, we completed the distribution in early December. A stack of thank you letters from the 3rd graders at Pinewod School were received by the club.
Shown above are (L-R): Jennifer Winkelman, 3rd grade teacher at Redeemer Community Christian School, Marty Juel, (president Elkhart Lions Club), Diann Hoyt, (president, Elkhart Community Lions Club) and Megan Nelson, 3rd grade student at Redeemer Community Christian School.
