Fairfax Lions Club has served our community since 1951. Among many service programs, the Lions provide financial aid for training or education of sight-handicapped individuals. This year they awarded 4 scholastic grants. On March 4th, the Lions presented grants of $1500 each to Ms. Amemma Amin and Mrs. Ann Pimley. Both are legally blind. Amemma, 17, is a junior at Robinson HS and will use her grant to buy video magnifier technology to assist her in college. Ann is a student at George Mason University and will put her grant toward college tuition. The grants are made through Virginia Lions Eye Institute which is co-sponsored by Inova Health System. VLEI pays for equipment purchases, community education, scholarships, and clinical research across northern Virginia to help those with low-vision.
