KNOXVILLE, TN — We Serve. That’s the motto of any member of the International Lions organization. It is especially true of one of the largest Lions clubs in Tennessee. Chartered in 2017, the club has preserved through the COVID years to provide sight services. Especially in 2023 as the world begins to emerge from the pandemic years.
After a year of pouring into the community, providing free eye exams and glasses, helping provide needed surgical procedures, doing community projects, and working with the youth of Knoxville, the members of the Knoxville East club took a few hours to relax, reflect and exhale before diving into the work of 2024.
