MEET NEEDS AND MAKE A DIFFERENCE!
Every need within the community is ultimately met by supportive Friends and Funds. Government efforts to support the economy are promising, but the needs of many people will likely endure for a much longer period than the efforts cover. For this reason, there is no better time to believe, to begin, and to become -- Believe in your ability to impact unfavorable circumstances, Begin your efforts toward affecting change, and Become a giver. Your gift today will help to inspire change that improves tomorrow for others.

HEALTH AWARENESS
August is National Eye Exam Month
You might be surprised to know that there is more to an eye exam than just checking your visual clarity. A comprehensive eye exam is an important part of your overall health. Even if your vision is clear and healthy, make it a priority to schedule yearly eye exams. Routine visits allow your eye care professional to look for signs of cataracts, glaucoma, macular degeneration, and other vision disorders. This early detection may save your sight!
Overall CDC findings:
• More than 1.6 million Americans who are living with vision loss or blindness are younger than age 40.
• 20% of all people older than 85 years experience permanent vision loss.
• More females than males experience permanent vision loss or blindness.
• There is a higher risk of vision loss among Hispanic/Latino and Black individuals than among White individuals.
