JESUP – Jesup Lions are selling flower baskets as a fundraiser.
The locally grown flowers are available at the Dairy Kone, 911 South Street, during business hours through Memorial Day. Each 12 inch basket is $27. Proceeds will support Iowa KidSight, a vision-screening program of the Lions Clubs of Iowa and the Department of Ophthalmology and Visual Sciences at Stead Family Children’s Hospital. The program offers free vision screenings for children 6 months old through kindergarten.
Vision screenings are performed by Lions Club volunteers in communities throughout Iowa by taking a photo of a child’s eyes with a specialized camera. After screenings are complete, the results are interpreted by vision specialists at Stead Family Children’s Hospital. If a potential vision problem is detected, parents will receive a referral letter and a list of local ophthalmologists and optometrists to contact for further eye care.
