Lion Brad Baker, CEO of Mid-South Lions Sight & Hearing Service in Memphis, Tenn., was guest speaker at last Tuesday's Gravette Lions Club meeting. He outlined the services Lions Sight & Hearing can provide to our community.
Patients in financial distress and needing eye care services can be treated at no cost at the Boozman-Hof eye clinic if sponsored by local Lions, who are asked only to provide transportation for the patient to the clinic. Baker said 80 cents of every dollar raised to help the indigent blind is received from Lions Clubs. Hearing aids are also provided for anyonewho needs them. He explained that the letters in Lions now stand for Loving Individuals Offering Needed Services.
