I fih I ■ o < EYEGLASS DONATIONS GIVEN FOR JAYCEES PROGRAM — The Syracuse Jaycees are happy to announce a new program called VOSH, which stands for Volunteer Optometric Service to Humanity. The Indiana Jaycees VOSH program is run in conjunction with VOSH-Indiana, headed by Indiana optometrists. Old, but usable, glasses are collected and recycled by optometry students at Indiana University and the Illinois College of Optometry. They are then sorted by power, single or multi-focal vision, and whom they are for — men, women or children. They are sent by the Jaycees to the Dominican Republic, Honduras, Haiti, and Guatemala where, under doctors’ supervision, they are matched with the right people. The Jaycees are going to run this program through March 31. Boxes will be placed at Clippers, The Spinal Care Center. Village Hair Trends, Tranter Graphics, Hair Force, and all branches of Syracuse State Bank. The Jaycees are asking the public for help, by donating used eyeglasses, for the unfortunate people so they can see their way to a better life. Pictured are Jeanne Gardiner, representative of Syracuse State Bank, helping kick off the program with the first supply of donated glasses, with Gregg Tindle, a new member of the Jaycees. and Jerry Wright, Jaycee co-chairman.
