Ipswich Lions bring vision van to area for student eye testing

The Ipswich Lions Club recently provided vision screening for 496 local school children using the South Dakota Lions Foundation Vision Van.

Children from pre-school through high school from Ipswich, Edmunds Central, Faulkton, and Leola had their vision checked courtesy of Ipswich Lions club members. Children from area Hutterite Colonies in their respective communities were also screened by Ipswich Lions Club members.

All children were screened the second week in September in their communities. Next year's plan is to screen the entire school in Faulkton, Edmunds Central, Leola and possibly Ipswich.
