What Is Children’s

Vision 1-3-5?Children’s Vision 1-3-5 reminds parents when their young children need to have an eye examination from their optometrist:

Before Age 1, at Age 3 and at Age 5 before entering school. The earlier a child’s vision problems are detected, the more responsive the visual system will be to treatment, and you will be ensuring every child has the vision skills to learn.

The River City Chapter generally meets the third Monday of each month for business items, discussion of current trends, fellowship among the members and brainstorming about activities that could generate more participation of the members as a whole .

During the past year Maureen Keenan, Executive Director, met with the chapter to discuss KNA events and decisions .

The Chapter discontinued the scholarship offerings due to lack of applications . The scholarship was designated to be used for graduate level preparation for nurse educators .

Five of the “Empathy” pins were sold during the year . Others are available at reduced prices .

Among the guest presentations of the past year were Elder Serve and Supplies Over Seas . The members selected the nonprofit, Supplies Over Seas, as the community project for members to volunteer .

Supplies Over Seas (SOS) is a nonprofit that “meets critical healthcare needs in medically impoverished communities around the world by collecting and distributing surplus medical supplies and equipment . SOS promotes environmental stewardship, partnering with hospitals and others to recover and send what would otherwise go to landfills .”

Carolyn Claxton, who has served as president of the chapter, and before that the district, has resigned due to health issues . Carolyn has served admirably in that position for several years . She has been a member of KNA/District 1 since the beginning of her nursing career and has served in various offices at the district and state levels . Thank you, Carolyn, for your hard work and dedication to the nursing profession .
