Courier Letters to the Editor 4-10-19
Thanks from the Pickens Lions Club
Dear Editor,
The Pickens Lions Club would like to thank a few businesses in town for their support.
One of the very first endeavors that our club championed was helping those with vision problems. That was a need that Helen Keller challenged the Lions Clubs all across America to tackle back in 1925. Today, our club has helped many in our community with eye exams and getting new glasses. We also collect old, obsolete glasses that are not used anymore. So if you have a pair of glasses that you are not using anymore, please visit one of the businesses mentioned and drop them off in the Lions eyeglass collection box.
A very heartfelt thank you to Bentley Chiropractic, Bivens

PICKENS — Holly Springs Center director Abby Baker wishes more people knew about the center and all it offers.
