International Club of Lions Gilmer had another productive day. Along with the Marshall Texas Lions Club and the Waskom Lions Club we provided Vision Screenings to 569 Gilmer Elementary Students and identified 99 students that had potential vision issues that need further evaluation by an Optometrist. The Vision Screening Device used by the Gilmer Lions Club was purchased last year for $6,800. It was partially funded by donations from McWorter Funeral Home, CUTX, Gilmer National Bank, First National Bank of East Texas and Upshur Rural Electric Cooperative Corporation. We appreciate these companies investing in our community! The Lions Club is the largest Civic Organization in the world and they are doing projects every month here in our community. If you are looking for an organization to join or looking for a place to invest in your community we would love to talk to you!
