Very special thanks to all Lions and Lighthouse Team who were able to make it in support of the Lighthouse and thank you to all Lions Clubs for their hospitality and service! 25 Million Kids Need You, So Get Involved Today! Lions of the USA are pleased to announce Lions KidSight USA, a nationwide program to safeguard the vision of children aged 6 months through 6 years. This month, through collaboration with LCI’s KidSight USA Program and the YMCA of Buckhead, the Lighthouse was able to conduct vision and hearing screenings on 65 children. 18 children were referred for eye exams and 4 for hearing exams. Healthy vision and hearing is crucial to the proper development in a child’s social skills and educational achievements. Lighthouse Staff and Lions from around the state visited the Lighthouse to get certified on how to use our new Welch Allyn Spot Screeners. Screeners will be used throughout the state to screen children and adults in need. These devices are industry standard when it comes to conducting a vision screening on children. However, a comprehensive eye exam by a doctor is still recommended even after a screening. A must watch for Lions. http://www.charlierose.com/watch/60378567 Georgia Lions Lighthouse Staff Main Line: 404-325-3630 Executive Director Roberta Green, Ext. 301 Vision Services - Questions, Patient Care, Clinics = CFO and Vision Program Director Morgan Alexander, Ext. 302 Hearing Services - Questions, Patient Care Hearing Services Manager Anna Knippel, Ext. 305 Eye Surgery Services Questions, Patient Care Eye Surgery Director – Victoria Jordan, Ext. 303 Development Opportunities Fundraising, Club Giving, Donations Chief Development Officer – Kembra Landry, Ext. 322 Marketing Opportunities - Club Materials, Promotions, Website, Social Media Marketing Director – Alison Kuhlke, Ext. 306 Volunteer Services - Questions, Scheduling Outreach Director Marsha Marshall, Ext. 345 Volunteer Manager – Lion Harold Walker Phone: 404-376-2126 Volunteer Assistant Manager – Lion Albert Green Phone: 404-861-4371 Recycling Center - Questions, Drop-off Pick-up = 404-8440121 Ext #329 Email address [email protected] 16
