Massie, who is organizing the van’s visit this year, emphasized that there is no charge for any of the tests, whether for children or adults. Adults are invited to take the entire battery of vision, hearing, glaucoma and diabetes tests, or to come for just one checkup, Mr. Massie said.
The costs of operating the mobile screening unit, Mr. Massie said, are borne by the Lions Clubs of District 24-A. He explained that the proceeds from community projects like the Rappahannock club’s annual auction, apple butter sales, light bulb drives, fruitcake and nut sales are contributed toward making this service available to the residents of Rappahannock County, as well as the rest of the Northern Virginia district.
Parents whose children are found to have suspected hearing or vision problems through the screening unit will be notified by the school administration, Mr. Massie said. The parents are then responsible for any further diagnostic testing or correction of the problem.
Parents who wish additional information about the screening program should call their child’s school, or Mike Massie (675-3537), John Hartline (987-8679) or Kermit Weakley (675-3246). Adults with questions about the program should contact any of the above-named Lions.
