District 33K Lions Eyemobile The Holliston Lions Club are proud to support the District 33K Lions Eyemonile.
Over the years there have been several vehicles and trailers named the Eyemobile, all with the common purpose of providing free neighborhood health screenings emphasizing vision care and the preservation of eyesight.
The first unit emerged in 1970. The unit was a dream of then DG Arthur Metzger. The unit was a used furniture van donated by Lion Ed Lynch of the Somerville Lions Club. It was replaced in 1972 by a movable trailer. The Somerville and Waltham Lions Clubs raised money to acquire the new unit while several Clubs donated funds to purchase the necessary medical equipment. The first user of the new trailer was the Brighton Lions Club. |
