Pennsauken Lions Club Gives Back To Community
At a recent meeting, the Pennsauken Lions Club voted to give $500 towards the playground that the Merchantville PTA is attempting to fund and build for the students and residents around the Merchantville School. During the same meeting, the Club voted to make a donation to the South Jersey Eye Center (SJEC) in Camden. The SJEC provides free eye screenings to low income families and is the facility the Lions send children identified with eye problems during the organization’s annual eye screenings. These children not only get a complete exam, but they also receive a pair of eye glasses.

Pennsauken Lions Collect Over 100 Pair Of Glasses
Members of the Pennsauken Lions Club recently emptied the white mailbox in front of the Pennsauken Township municipal building and counted the donated glasses, over 100 pair! They also found a few letters mistakenly deposited into the reconditioned mailbox, including one to a bank! There was also assorted trash inside.
The Lions appreciate the donations of glasses and will continue to collect them throughout the year, but they ask that only glasses, wrapped in a plastic bag, without cases, be deposited in the box and certainly not trash or mail.
