Lions Club Guest speaker

The previously mentioned glasses drive helped to build a connection with the Port Neches Lions Club, who asked myself and POPS's Treasurer, Kyle Delk, to speak at their monthly meeting. We discussed POPS's mission to serve and explained how we started our organization. Much like the Beaumont Area Council of the Blind, we were able to build yet another connection with a local organization who seeks to help those who are blind/visually impaired.
