The Lions Club provides vision and hearing screenings for elementary school children using simple cameras that can detect various eye disorders in seconds and assisting children with hearing tests. The volunteer also coaches a youth softball team, teaching girls ages 7-10 basic hitting, throwing, catching, and fielding skills, finding it rewarding to help the children learn and enjoy the sport.

The Lions Club screens elementary school aged kids for a variety of eye disorders/ deficiencies. They camera they use to screen is very simple to use and can detect Myopia (nearsightedness), Hyperopia (farsightedness), Astigmatism (blurred vision), Anisometropia (unequal refractive power), Strabismus (eye misalignment), and Anisocoria (unequal pupil size). The test takes a matter of seconds. All that they have to do is look into the lense at a few blinking lights. I had a great time screening these kids and helping those who cannot afford to go to an optometrist. North Plains - 3 hrs McKinney - 3 hrs Free Orchards - 3 hrs
Lions Club Hearing Screening
The Lions Club also screens elementary school aged kids for hearing deficiencies. We did not conduct the actual hearing test but we did assist the kids with instructions on how to use the button they were givens as well as put their headphones on and disinfect them as well.

Youth Softball Coach
On sundays I help coach a group of 7-10 year old girls play softball. They are just starting out, so I, along with 2 or 3 other high school aged girls, help them with basic fundamentals of hitting, throwing, catching, and fielding the ball. It is so much fun giving back to the softball community and seeing how fast theses girls learn. They love the game so much and absorb all the information we are giving them. 8 hours
