So Much More To Learn

"So Much More to Learn" tells the story of Phoebe, a girl whose vision was improved thanks to the Lions Club's eye screenings. Grateful for their help, she takes her cousin Jasper to the Iowa State Fair, where he learns about their work and gets his eyes checked. They enjoy the fair's attractions, like butter cows and thrilling rides, while Phoebe reflects on the importance of clear vision and considers becoming a Lion herself someday to help others. It's a heartwarming celebration of sight and service. Click below to get your copy!
