The public is invited. Admission is $40 per person. Included are three games of bowling, shoe rental, a pizza, and soda.
Tickets are available from Aurora Lions, at the door or online at auroralionsclub.org
Aurora Lions hold vision exams for children from six months to 16 years on the third Saturday of the month at the West Branch public library, 233 S. Constitution Drive in Aurora.
Lions volunteers use a hand-held Plusoptix screener to check eye health of kids for near-sightedness, called myopia; far-sightedness, hyperopia; and astigmatism, egg-shaped eye.
Adults are notified if a screening indicates a vision problem that requires a comprehensive exam.
Vision cameras are supported by a grant from Lions International Foundation. The effort is part of Lions Kidsight USA, community eye-screening for children sponsored by Lions International.
