Alright, here is my conundrum.
One of the reasons I did enjoy working for The Big Blue Dragon (lux) was my ability to help my local community and go on international missions to provide eye care to the disadvantaged. Since I left the company and have worked in private practices I have not had those same opportunities.
Partnering Providers(doctors) are invited to apply to go on the missions, but at this time optical professionals are not. They are looking at ways to include us, but that still seems a way off.
Now I could join Lions Club, but none of them in my area will return my phone calls. And neither will VOSCH.
My practice does what it can to give discounts to those who need help, but we are a fairly new practice and cannot afford to give stuff away yet.
I loved my mission trip to El Salvador with LC, and would do it many times over.
Any ideas on who or how I can become more involved again?
