The Alpharetta Rotary Club received the eyeglasses as a donation from a private citizen. Although these were new eyeglasses, they had been stored in open boxes in a warehouse and needed cleaning, polishing, categorizing, and packaging. Thirteen New Member Rotarians from the Alpharetta Rotary Club volunteered for the task. The team building event was a great opportunity for the new members to meet, build relationships and have fun while working on this project .
Members from the Rotary Clubs of Alpharetta and Roswell will travel to Honduras in late February to support the Vision Project.
“It was a great experience to work together with the Rotary Club of Roswell and know our efforts will have a positive impact on an international level,” said Bill Weeks, President of Rotary Club of Alpharetta.
