Free Vision Screening for Children to be offered at Webberville Easter Egg Hunt
A Free Vision Screening for Children is being offered during the Webberville Easter Egg Hunt on Saturday, March 31, starting at 10a.m. at the Webberville High School football field. The screening is sponsored by the Webberville Lions Club and is part of the group’s Project KIDsight.
The screening is primarily intended for children ages one to six, but older children are welcome.
Project KIDsight is a vision screening program to detect potential vision disorders in children that can cause permanent vision loss when treatment is delayed. Through Project KIDsight, your child's vision will be tested with a high tech camera that will quickly (1 second) and accurately determine whether your child's vision is a Pass or a Refer. When the result of the vision screening is a Refer, the child should be examined by an ophthalmologist or optometrist as soon as possible.
Five percent of all preschool age children experience vision loss from an undetected vision disorder, and treatment options increase when vision problems are detected early in a child's life. Normal vision can usually be restored with eye glasses, contact lenses and sometimes patching.
A consent form attached must be filled out before the free screening. If you have any questions contact, "Chad McCann" <cmccann@lmsf.net>

Fowlerville Community Theatre to perform dinner-play on March 16-17
The Fowlerville Community Theatre is performing a dinner-play on Friday and Saturday, March 16-17, at the Woodshire Place. Dinner will be served at 6:30 p.m., with the performance starting at 7:30 p.m.
Ticket prices are $25 per person and must be purchased in advance by March 10. (See advertisement in this issue for where to purchase the tickets.)
The play is entitled “Eat, Drink, and Be Murdered (An Irish Family Feud)” and involves efforts to discover the secret ingredient in the recipe for the popular Wild Irish Rose Whiskey. That ingredient is known only by an 80-year-old lady, Grandma Rose O’Riley McFadden who got it from her father, but whose memory is now beginning to fail. The plot revolves around which of two families will control it—the McFaddens, who own the distillery and have gotten rich from the sale of the whiskey and don’t like the O’Rileys, or the O’Rileys, who feel the recipe (with the secret ingredient) rightfully belongs to their family and want to start their own distillery and avenge their ill treatment by the McFaddens.
