bus will be in Geneva on Wednesday

The
bus is staffed by an audiology technician and will be available
to the public for hearing screening from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m.
No advance sign up is required and all persons interested
in screening are urged to take advantage of this program.
The test takes approximately 20 minutes and is free of
charge to all who are interested. Anyone with questions
is urged to contact Lion Jim Cullen at
(630) 262-8311.
- Eyeglass
Recycling
The Geneva Lions Club collects unwanted eyeglasses to be recycled for
use by needy persons in third-world countries. The
donated eyeglasses are cleaned, sorted by prescription and prepared
for distribution by the Illinois Lions Foundation and other groups. In
most third-world countries, eye care is either unaffordable or inaccessible. Poor
eyesight that is left uncorrected can lead to unemployment for adults
and a child's inability to attend school.
We have placed recycling
collection boxes in numerous convenient
drop-off locations in Geneva and St. Charles. Hearing
aids may also be dropped off in those boxes
for recycling.

of the establishments where those boxes
are located. For
questions, contact Lion Jim
Cullen at (630) 262-8311

any of the Lions Club eyeglass recycling boxes located in
Geneva and St. Charles. For location of a convenient
