‘Sight Night' Puts Focus on Giving this Halloween
 Kids to Trick-or-Treat for Used Eyeglasses

 This year, some kids will collect more than candy on Halloween. They'll help Give 
the Gift of Sight by gathering used eyeglasses while they trick-or-treat in our community. 

 Apalachin Lions Club and St. Margaret Mary's Youth are organizing a group to participate in Sight Night on Halloween, October 31. The used eyeglasses they collect will be recycled and hand-delivered by LensCrafters and Lions Club volunteers to people in developing countries such as Mexico, Bolivia, Laos, and Thailand, who can't afford eyeglasses.

 Sight Night is part of a national collection drive conducted annually by Give the Gift of Sight, a family of charitable vision care programs sponsored by the LensCrafters Foundation in conjunction with Lions Clubs International. 

 Look for your used eyeglasses and sunglasses in every nook and cranny of your home or place of work. Someone may come to your door looking for all types of prescription and non-prescription eyeglasses and sunglasses. Children's glasses are especially in need, as they are in high demand but in short supply. Whether they are big or small, fashionably ‘in' or ‘out,' your glasses could change how someone in a developing country sees the world.

 If the "ghouls and boys" don't make it to your house on Sight Night, have no fear. Used eyeglasses can be dropped off at the Apalachin Library, 719 Main Street or St. Margaret Mary's, 1110 Pennsylvania Avenue Apalachin, by November 5. Used eyeglasses for the program can be dropped off year-round at all LensCrafters stores or the Apalachin Lions Club.
