Only 4 days to go!

By kmarshall

Welcome to the 2012 Walking Shield Clinic blog.  Our team of about 30 Luxottica associates from across the US and Canada will be leaving on Sunday to begin our journey of giving the Gift of Sight to the Native American Tribes of Bishop, CA.  Around the world and in our own country, millions of people suffer from poor vision because they do not have access to eye care or simply cannot afford it.  That is why OneSight is so important to us.

I hope you enjoy the stories and pictures as we travel along on our journey.  To our family, friends and co-workers thank you for all your support and for holding down the fort while we are gone.  We will miss you.
