| Past Successes of the Aurora Borealis Eyeglass Recycling Center |
| We have
recycled approximately 30,000 pairs of glasses each year. Currently,
these glasses are shipped solely overseas in support of various Lions'
vision missions. We have served several countries with our
eyeglasses, to include:
Micro-Indonesia, Thailand, El Salvador, Guatemala, Nepal, Mexico and Philippines During this time, donations for operating expenses have come into District 49B Lions Foundation from Lions Clubs across MD49. When the AB-LERC needed lensometers; donations also came in from all over, totaling nearly $5,000. Obviously, the AB-LERC can not do its business without eyeglasses; and nearly every Lions Club in MD49 has some form of eyelgass collection effort going on. |
