Don’t forget we have a donation box in the entry way for old prescription, readers or sunglasses. Also, old hearing aids. This is a recycle box for Lions Club International. If you have any old, broken glasses that you don’t know what to do with, bring them by here. Speaking of donations if you would like to donate soda diet or regular, bottled water or individual sealed snack for our bingo snack table we would be so grateful. We always put on a spread of homemade goodies but also try to have chips and snacks available. Also, I wanted to make sure everyone is aware that if you need a walker, canes, wheelchair we have them available to use.
