OPERATION KIDS SITE SEEN IN WAYNEDALE

March 7, 2007 The Waynedale News Staff

Foster Park Lions have been busy with their Operation Kids Site Project in the Waynedale area.

Volunteers from the Lions Club took photos of children’s eyes at both Waynedale Methodist Preschool and at Mount Calvary Lutheran Preschool. These photos are then sent to Indianapolis where they can determine if the child has any defects that can be corrected before they reach the age of six. Each photo costs the Lions $5.00 to be read. No cost to the child.

This project is funded partially by their December Citrus Fruit and Christmas Tree Sales, giving back to the community.

To learn more about the Lions activities call Lion Dick Beam at 456-5471 or email him at dickevie@msn.com.

Keeping Things Level Over Time ~ The History of Ordinary Things
How did early builders ensure the structures they were erecting were plumb vertically and horizontally? The principle they had observed is that a body of water is always horizontal, thus, a trough or channel filled with water can show horizontality. When the pyramids were built as far back as 1100 B.C., Egyptians used boards with holes ...
