Dunwoody Rotary Club’s "Clear Vision" Cause for Kids

Do you have a pair of children’s prescription glasses that aren't being used any longer? See “green” and donate them to a worthy cause. Dunwoody High School and Peachtree Charter Middle School are supporting an international service project sponsored by the Dunwoody Rotary Club.

In February 2008, a team of volunteer eye doctors from Dunwoody will travel to Costa Rica, administer free eye exams to Costa Rican children, and give away appropriate prescription eyeglasses from the donations they have received. Boxes have already been placed in the Front Offices of DHS & PCMS where you can donate children's eye glasses (please put in Ziploc bags). In the coming weeks there will also be a collection box in the office of Chesnut Charter Elementary School as well. Once the eye glasses are received, they will be analyzed for prescription.

The drive will continue through January 15, 2008. Give a child the gift of vision by allowing him or her to see the world more clearly. Direct questions by e-mail to Rick Otness of the Dunwoody Rotary Club at otness_r@mindspring.com.
