Old Farm Day 2009 OLD FARM DAY The Rivanna Lions will be offering FREE sight and hearing
screening on October 3d at "Old Farm Day" held at Pleasant Grove and
open to the public from Rivanna Lion members have been trained to screen both adults of any age
and children who are able to read numbers. Children age 16 and under must have parental
approval (signature on registration form). Certified Technicians from the club
will also be on board to evaluate the findings of the screenings and report the
results. Recommendations to consult a
professional will be made where necessary. Screenings are done on a specially equipped air-conditioned mobile unit
containing 2 hearing booths, 2 sight machines and a glaucoma machine (adults
only). The entire process, from
completing a short form thru screenings and evaluation takes about 15 minutes.
No appointments are necessary. Also on site will be information relative to diabetes. Personnel from UVA will be on hand to answer
questions and members will have printed material to distribute. The club will have an area with material covering membership in Lions
and the Rivanna club in particular - who they are and
what they do. Our Golf Membership chair
has information about our upcoming golf tournament, October 10 at A special collection box for used eyeglasses (only those with frames)
will be on premises -
a prize is involved. Used
eyeglasses are prohibited from being sold in the USA but the collection is
cleaned, prescriptions read and distribution made free to needy Virginia
residents yearly at Wise, VA in July and to third-world countries. Look for the results at this site in late October. |
