Entrepreneur and Award Winning Author Charles
G Irion to Assist with Hundreds of Free Cataract Surgeries in the Philippines
In February Charles G. Irion will be participating in a medical mission in Zambales, Philippines to provide free cataract surgeries to needy patients. This is the 11th cataract medical mission between the Philippines and Mexico. Historically, the Phil-Am Lion’s Club always breaks their record. In 2013, they helped 223 patients with vision screenings, leading a group of more than 10 volunteers. The process is tedious, having to sort through thousands of glasses so that patients are given a pair of free corrective glasses after the surgery. During their last mission over 9000 pair of glasses were dispensed! Irion personally will be working with doctors to scan and give eye tests before and after surgery. Project C.U.R.E. donated some of the medical supplies – Charles Irion is a Director of Project C.U.R.E.
Lion’s Club International was founded in 1917 by Melvin Jones from Arizona. It’s the largest service humanitarian club in the world with a membership of approximately 1.3 million. The current President of LCI, Joseph Preston is from Arizona as well.
Charles Irion is the author of The Summit Murder Mystery series which can be found at these retailers - iTunes, Amazon, Amazon kindle, Sony, The Book Depository, Barnes & Noble, Books on Board, KOBO. He’s also a philanthropist and has prestigious positions with Project C.U.R.E., The 3000 Club, and the Phil Am Lions Club.

Phil-Am Lion's Club of Arizona
On June 21, 2014 the Phoenix Phil-Am Lions Club will hold its annual Induction and Installation Ball at the Hilton Phoenix Airport. This undertaking is partly a fundraising event to support the club's signature project - Medical Mission. The upcoming one in 2015 would be the 11th betwen the Philippines and Mexico missions. Last year we netted over $2000 and the celbration was attneded by family friends, supporters and cignitaries. We were able to do the following with the funds: 223 cataract operations, 67 pterygiums, dispensed 9000 corrective glasses, identified school children with vision problems and screened over 300 patients for diabetes.
This year we're even committed to making a bigger success and I am hoping you will help. The aim is to raise about $5000 and the funds will be used for the cataract and medical mission on February 15-20, 2015 in Zambales, Philippines. The club always breaks its record and this tiime we hope to be able to help 250 blinded patients because of cataract.
In reciprocation to your kind favor, we will put your pictures, greetings and advertisements in the club's souvenir program. We will be issuing a donation receipt for the entire amount as requested. Raising funds for such a noble cause cannot be possible without your generous support and sponsorship.
