A TLERC Board meeting and work weekend was held in Midland at the recycling center. This project was completed in collaboration with Texas Lions Eyeglass Recycling Centers in Midland, Conroe, and Watauga along with Lions Clubs in Plano, 2-X1, Hillsboro, and Conroe. We donated a pallet full of materials, probably at least 3,000 items. We delivered recycled prescription eyeglasses, reading glasses, non-prescription sunglasses, usable eyeglass cases to a warehouse for shipment to Ukrainian refugees.
