*Importance:* High



Hi Vista Center team,



Sending this to all as a fyi, however folks based out of San Jose and Palo
Alto are the main folks for this opportunity.



Few facts as background:

   - Vista Center is partnering with lions International, through our Board
   Member Bob Steward, and the title of this long- term collaboration
is *Recycle
   for Sight*.
   - Vista Center San Jose has been designated as the location for monthly
   delivery of approx.. 1000 eye glasses, which are sorted, cleaned and
   prepped for delivery to designated groups – International, Prisons and
   other identified partners who will provide the eye glasses to those in need.
   - It is a win-win for Vista Center and the Lions, as it puts Vista
   Center on the map for hundreds of folks who will be volunteering for this
   project in the present and future.
   - Attached fyi is a Press Release.



How You can Help:

   - The next service days  at Vista Center SJ are Friday, July 30 and
   Saturday, July 31.
   - We encourage you to sign up for a shift or help with gathering and
   delivering the following to SJ to help with this project:
      - Apple Boxes are needed to pack and send the sorted glasses.  You
      can get “apple boxes” from your  local grocer.  Only apple boxes are
      acceptable as it is the right size for International Delivery.
The box has
      a cover and your local produce manage will know if they have any
for you to
      pick up and deliver to SJ.  Per my Lion contact “no banana or other fruit
      boxes are acceptable”.
      - Noted below is a link for  Sign Up Genius for you to sign up
      through the Lion District Governor, Allen King.  You can indicate an hour
      or more and if you are just delivering boxes, you can advise as well.  If
      you do sign up, please shoot off an email to me so we know who from Vista
      Center can support this upcoming service event.
      - If you do sign up to sort, clean and help pack the eye glasses, you
      will receive complete training, and have fun along  the way as
that is how
      the  Lions roll.

More opportunities will come in the future and it will be great for Vista
Center to show our support and gratitude to the Lions who are so generous
with their time, talent and treasure for Vista Center.  Wearing your Vista
Center T-Shirt will be super.
