Annual Peach Sale
2012 Peach Sale is underway!
The school year is coming to an end, and for the Longhorn Lions Club, that means Peaches!
Central Texas is well known for delicious peaches, and for many years, our annual
peach sale represents our largest annual fund-raiser for our work within the
community.
Pricing is the same as the last three years:
$40 for a full box (25 lbs.), or
$25 for a half box
If you've enjoyed our Citrus in the winter, we're sure you'll enjoy
our peaches in the summertime. Please contact any of our club members,
or our Peach Chairmanfor more information.
Our orders are due on or before Friday, June 29th, and we expect to take
delivery on Thursday, July 5th.

Club News
Early Childhood Vision Screenings
Sight projects are the core of Lionism, and our current signature club
project is spearheaded by a past club President, and a registered professional
optician. In conjunction with the Registered Opticians Association of
Texas, our club piloted Early Childhood Vision Screenings. Targeted at infants
and toddlers, ages one to five years, the goal is to reduce preventable blindness,
from conditions such as Amblyopia and Strabismus.
Pilot screenings began in early 2009, and the project has gained statewide
momentum since that time. Just in the Central Texas area alone, multiple
screenings have been held in Cedar Park, Liberty Hill, San Angelo,
Georgetown, Bertram, Hutto, Buda, and Lockhart.
Our club typically hosts between two and four screenings per year at the Cedar Park Public Library.
Check back for more details. Other Early Childhood Vision Screenings are scheduled for various locations
throughout the Central Texas area. Click here
