Saratoga Lions receive kudos

The Saratoga Lions Club was recently honored with a citation for collecting more than 1,700 pairs of eyeglasses so far this year.

The glasses are collected by the local service organization, cleaned, separated and identified by prescription and then shipped to doctors who distribute glasses to low-income, visually impaired patients.

The Saratoga Lions continue to collect used eyeglasses at such local drop-off points as the Saratoga Bakery in the Village, the Saratoga Vision Center and Gene's Market in the Quito Shopping Center, Longs Drugs in the Argonaut Center and the office of Dr. Lee Hoglan in the Westgate Corner Shopping Center. Lions president Marlene Duffin said children's glasses are particularly needed.

Lions spearheading the campaign are Mark Biondich, Muriel Kao, Paul Zic and Karin Dowdy.

The Saratoga Lions Club meets twice a month. For more information about the group or the eyeglass recycling program, call Duffin at 867-1410.

Council to consider budget, roofing law

The Saratoga City Council is scheduled to hear testimony about the city budget and a new roofing ordinance at its meeting at 7:30 p.m., Wednesday, June 3.

The budget will take public testimony regarding the city's budget for the years 1998- 2000. The hearing will be continued to June 17 for the council's final action. If that meeting is canceled, final action will be taken at the July 1 meeting.

The council will also hear testimony from the public about a new proposed roofing ordinance that would require all new roofs--replacement jobs covering a majority of a roof--to use class A roofing materials.

Class A roofing materials have the highest level of fire resistance.
