An 85 year old man cannot listen to television because his hearing is not as good as it once was.

What do these 4 individuals have in common?

The answer is the Ballston Spa Lions Club.

The 8 year old girl was referred to the school nurse who worked with the Lions Club to arrange for an eye examination and new glasses.

The 45 year old man contacted the Lions Club directly and the club was able to help him buy new eyeglasses.

The cataract patient was also referred to the Lions Club through her eye doctor. The club was able to arrange for the surgery with a local ophthalmologist at a discounted price and the club also paid for the surgery.
