Noblesville Lions Host Eyeglass World and Boys and Girls Club
Alicia Hyatt, Eyeglass World District Training Manager, spoke to the club on how her company works with information from the Lions Club. When the Lions Club refers a student from a school, Eyeglass World provides an exam and a pair of eye glasses at no charge. This is for families in need and usually ones without insurance. Eyeglass World has two national programs that support providing eyeglasses to those in need. Lion Steve Shaw pointed out that the Lions have made 22 referrals from Noblesville schools since August.
Becky Terry, Executive Director of the Noblesville Boys and Girls Club, spoke to the club highlighting the current activities of the B&G Club. Becky has been with the Noblesville B&G Club for the past 12 years managing its growth. She pointed out that the club served 1800 kids in 2022, with an average of 250 kids attending the club daily. They have 11 full-time staff.
The B&G Club is approaching the Lions Club for a substantial donation for a new amphitheater at Camp Crosser. They are also working with Lilly Endowment on grants to help fund a number of capital projects. The Lions Club is in final discussions of providing the donation to the Boys and Girls Club.
