A doctor from The Retina Group of Washington discussed AMD with Fairfax Lions and guests on February 2nd. AMD is a leading cause of loss of vision in persons over age 60. AMD results in the loss of central vision, while peripheral vision may be fully retained.

One of our regular Club services is providing holiday meals to family’s in our community. Main Street Child Development Center identifies families, and provides their facility for families to pick-up the meals. Lions assemble 2 bags for each family – nutritious food (carrots, green beans, corn, potatoes, apples, cranberry, cake mix, etc), and a gift card for the family to purchase an entree they prefer.
