Next HLC Meeting
The Hewitt Lions Club meets at 6:30 p.m. on the 2nd and 4th Mondays of the month. We are currently meeting at IHOP on New Road. If you have a heart for service, we'd love for you to join us for dinner and learn more about the HLC.
Exciting News! The HLC has purchased a SPOT Vision Screener in 2017!
After a year of fundraising, the HLC was able purchase a Spot Vision Screener to be used in the greater Hewitt community at no cost to the public. The Spot Vision Screener is a handheld, portable device designed to help users quickly and easily detect vision issues on patients from 6 months of age through adult. Spot screens both eyes at once from a nonthreatening 3-foot distance. The touch-screen display allows for one-touch activation, simple management of patient data entry, and easy configuration for both vision screening and autorefraction applications. Having a Spot Vision Screener will enable parents/guardians to potentially catch vision issues early and follow up with specialists when needed.
