Staff Report ~ 12/23/2009

The Anthem Lions Club is collecting used eye glasses that will be used by needy Arizona families.

Local optometrists and businesses around Anthem and Tramonto have placed the collection boxes in their offices. Among the businesses that are participating are Arizona Eye Care, Nationwide Vision, North Valley Eye Care, Wal-Mart, Mary Freidrich Edward Jones office, and Freeman Income Tax service.
