The Lions have adopted a special initiative this year with
Project Kidsight, an effort to identify and help children who
have visiondisorders by early detection and treatment.
As part of this major effort, the Plymouth Lions Club will
have vision screening available on Saturday afternoon in
KelloggPark for children as young 1.
Helping the vision and hearing impaired is a major goal
of the Lions Club and the Plymouth group was charted by
Lions Club International in 1947. Themembers gathered for
the first official meeting back in January of 1948 and have
been helping the vision impaired since that time. Currently,
the Plymouth Lions Club helps support: Beaumont Hospital
Silent Children's Fund; First Step; Leader Dogs for the
Blind; Lions Hearing Center of Michigan; Lions of Michigan
Service Foundation; Michigan Eye Bank; Madonna
University/Lions Hearing Center; Paws with a Cause;
Penrickton Center for Blind Children; American Diabetes
Association; Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation;
Project Kidsight; Bear Lake (a camp for visually impaired
youths); American Legion; Plymouth District Library and
thePlymouthHistoricalMuseum.
