Join us for a learning luncheon on Sept. 11th!

We invite you to join us for, "In Focus: A Luncheon Supporting Better Vision," on September 11, 2024, at the American Legion Post 347 in Lady Lake. 

Doors will open at 10:45 AM, with lunch served at 11:00 AM, followed by presentations starting at 11:30 AM.

Attendees will have the opportunity to meet with local and regional vision-related service providers, gaining valuable insights into the resources and support available in our area. The luncheon will feature presentations from:

• Bob Armstrong, District Governor of the Lions Club
• Barbara Crewell, President of OBG Lions
• Heather Vass, Service Chair of OBG Lions
• Robert Vass, Marketing Chair of OBG Lions

Cheryl Lawko from Beauty of Sight, formerly known as the Florida Lions Eye Bank, will be the keynote speaker and will be receiving the presentation of our $30,000 donation pledge for their program. 

Since 1962, Beauty of Sight has been a pioneer in restoring vision through corneal transplants, research, and community outreach. Their efforts have transformed the lives of tens of thousands of individuals through sight-saving procedures and innovative research.

Tickets are $10 per person and include lunch, provided by the American Legion Post 347. The meal will feature a variety of sandwiches, a vegetarian option, potato salad, pasta salad, coffee/tea or water, and dessert offerings.

All proceeds from this event will support the $100 for 100 campaign, which involves raising $100 for each of the 108 active OBG Lions members in honor of the 100th anniversary of Helen Keller’s challenge to the Lions to be "Knights of the Blind." With a goal of just over $10,000, the campaign has already raised $2,600 since its launch on July 1st. All funds will be dedicated to vision services and programs.
