One of my favorite service opportunities is volunteering at Project Right to Sight monthly vision clinic where every person we serve receives a retina scan as a part of their comprehensive vision exam. Early detection is key to preventing Diabetic Retinopathy - the leading cause of preventable blindness.

Today we recognize World Diabetes Day and the growing impact diabetes has on the health and vision of people in our community. Diabetes remains a leading cause of preventable blindness, yet many early changes in the eye occur without symptoms.

Our club works to protect sight by offering retina screenings for diabetic retinopathy at Florida Lions District 35-O's monthly clinic, Project Right to Sight. We focus on serving community members who have no insurance coverage or financial resources, because access to care should never depend on the ability to pay.

We also support the Florida Lions Diabetic Retinopathy Foundation, BeautyofSight, and the Lions World Vision Institute. Each organization plays an important role in restoring sight through corneal transplants, advancing eye health, and reducing blindness caused by diabetic retinopathy.

If you or someone you know is living with diabetes and needs support with eye health, we are here to help. Early detection can protect vision and change lives.

Celebrating !

This day is about more than a white cane. It represents empowerment, independence, and equal opportunity for people living with visual impairments around the world.

Lions Clubs everywhere are committed to helping the visually impaired by:

• Funding life-changing surgeries and vital treatments
• Offering free vision screenings
• Raising funds for guide dog programs
• Advancing blindness prevention research and accessibility advocacy

Join us in making a difference. Together, we can build a future where everyone has the support they need to thrive.

Incredibly proud of the Omega Leos at UCF !

Hey Leos ⚔️🦁! On October 9th we held our first Pen Pal Letter Writing for the Chadwick Foundation ✉️. We become pen pals with students from the Chadwick Foundation, which is a respite care facility located in Alabama. We were able to write our first round of letters to a wonderful group of students with special needs who are of varying ages.

We officially wrote and sent out 18 letters to 18 amazing students 📫! We can't wait to hear back from them!!

We also wrote 3 thank you cards to certain members of OWS Lions Club who were generous at our charter night.

If you would like to become a pen pal as well, keep an eye out for our upcoming letter writing events on our story and through GroupMe 👀 !

End the stigma ..... Talking about your mental health is a strength, not a weekness.
