Kids turn Halloween into 'Sight Night'

Grade school children in Jackson County will be collecting used eyeglasses and sunglasses for "Sight Night" while trick-or-treating Halloween night. The kids will then bring the used glasses back to their school to be picked up by Lions Club International. The Lions Club will distribute these to needy persons around the world.

Used glasses can also be donated at collection receptacles at Carbondale-Murphysboro businesses and churches after Halloween. For more information, please call Mrs. Tonia Burke, project representative, at 687-3272.
