Lions give sight. By conducting eye exams at our area elementary schools, distributing eye glasses to those who can’t afford
them and helping to raise awareness of eye disease. Forney Lions work toward our mission of providing vision for all who
are in need. We have extended our commitment to sight conservation through local efforts which works to eradicate
blindness.
