Lions Club Raises Funds for Eye Testing by Way of Enchilada Sale
The Lions Club Sight Conservation Foundation is holding its 31st Annual Enchilada Sale on January 28th to raise money to provide eye testing, exams, and glasses for local school children and members of the community in need.
More than one hundred Lions and volunteers will gather to make an astounding 5,000 enchiladas for this event. They will use 650 pounds of cheese, 730 pounds of ground beef, 60 pounds of onions, 25 cases of sauce and, of course, 5,000 tortillas!
Last year the Lions were able to test the vision of more than 6700 children in Elementary and High School in both the Santa Maria and Guadalupe areas. The funds raised at events like the Annual Enchilada Sale also enabled them to provide financial assistance for almost 250 eye exams and pairs of eyeglasses.
This has to be the most delicious way to support healthy vision in our community. $7 will get you a tray of two enchiladas in your choice of beef or cheese.
Stop by the Elks Lodge at 1309 N. Bradley between 10:30 and 12 noon to pick up pre-ordered enchiladas or between noon and 1pm to purchase your trays. Call (805) 937-0158 to find out more.
The Orcutt Lions Club meets the first and third Wednesdays of the month at 126 S. Broadway next to Jack’s Restaurant.
