The Centre Foresight Committee, which is made up of all the Lions Clubs in Region IV gives assistance to the Lions Clubs in Region IV. When a club may have a project that is too large or too expensive for one club, they provide the service needed. The committee also, as most Lions do, collects used eyeglasses. In the 2002-03 Lions year the Centre Foresight Committee collected 5,000 pairs of used eyeglasses and 1,500 used eyeglasses cases. These eyeglasses and eyeglasses cases were processed for shipment to people in Central America.
I would like to contact your club's representative to the local Centre Lions Foresight Committee
