Executive Director of MTLSS, Lady Dianne Corlew, presented two Knight for Sight awards to Lion Herbert Sircy and Lion Carolyn Sircy from the Lafayette Lions Club. Congratulations to both of you!

Thanks to a lot of hard work by a lot of great Lions and Legislators, on April 28, 2023, Governor Bill Lee signed the House and Senate Bills that had become Section 250 into Tennessee Law. It authorized the creation, pre-sale, and production of a Tennessee Specialty License Platr to benefit Middle Tennessee Lions Sight Service Inc. Called "Crusade Against Darkness."

The MTSU Campus Lions Club was granted permission by MTLSS to spearhead an effort to create a license plate that would generate a long-term revenue stream for MTLSS. The charitable funds generated from the sale of the license plates will go to MTLSS to meet the charge Helen Keller issued Lions Clubs in her 1925 speech at its International Convention in Cedar Point, Ohio, USA, on June 30, 1925.

To learn more, stay tuned for additional posts throughout the upcoming year. There is a picture of the license plate and also how to reserve your Crusade Against Darness license plate to help us reach our goal.

Fun eye fact for the month:
Cataracts don't just affect the elderly.

One of the biggest misconceptions about cataracts is that it is a condition that only affects the elderly. It is true that the majority of the time it affects the elderly but people of all ages can develop cataracts.

MTLSS Golf Ball Drop at the Hermitage Golf Course in Old Hickory, TN!! ⛳️ Together we are "Making a DIFFERENCE"..one eye at a time.

I can't seem to remember Facebook. I am so excited to announce that Ashlea Carter will be taking over as Facebook Administrator.

This month’s fun eye fact:
80% of all learning comes through the eyes.

I am so glad Lions Clubs screen children’s eyes. They can catch eye problems early and allow those children an opportunity to continue learning.

The middle of each month we will share a Fun Eye Fact. Here’s your first!

The eye is the fastest muscle in your body. Thus, the saying, ”In the blink of an eye!”
