There's so much going on this month, but among the Halloween festivities, the Skamania County Lions Club volunteers will be on hand at A&J Market in Stevenson and Backwoods Country Market in Carson to collect donations for its eyewear programs during White Cane Day, Wednesday, Oct. 15.
Tables will be set up in front of the two grocery stores, 4-7 p.m., Wednesday. People can learn about the local Lions Club program to help offset the cost of new eyeglasses.

Cash donations will support Skamania Lions’ eyewear voucher program which provides $125 for qualified applicants to pay for their eyeglasses.
