Smiles and Tears (of happiness)...

Observation from some of the Rotarians after the first day...

York East Rotarian Jin Jou Meighen commented that "now I can see why you go on these Rotary missions" as she observed the dispensing of a pair of reading glasses to a woman who hasn't been able to see to read.  She described how a woman just lit up with a big smile when she put the glasses on.

Mechanicburg North Rotarian Dr. Amy Spotts saw a patient that told her she had been prescribed bifocals but wasn't able to afford them.  When Dr. Amy told her that we would be able to provide her with the bifocals she needs, the woman began to cry.

This is what Rotary International Service is all about...changing lives.
