Rimersburg Lions are also preparing to provide eye screening for children attending the April 25 and April 26 Kindergarten Registration for the 2024-2025 school year at Sligo Elementary School. The eye screening detects five different eye defects in those kindergarten children participating in the kindergarten registration process. Those exhibiting eye problems are referred to the school nurse and eventually to an eye professional for consultation. This Lions Club sponsored program is also under the auspices of Lion Mortimer.
