Seaside Elks help out with eye screening The Daily Astorian SEASIDE — On Oct. 16, Seaside Elk members assisted with eye screening of Seaside Head Start stu- dents when 30 children ages 3 to 5 were screened for eye problems. Any child show- ing a need for more test- ing was referred for further screenings. The Elks Children’s Eye Clinic is the major char- itable project of the Ore- gon State Elks Association. Thanks to grants from the Oregon State Elks Associa- tion, the Elks Children’s Eye Clinic developed free vision screenings for Head Start programs and public librar- ies across the state. Using photo screening technology, refraction, pupil sizes and corneal reflexes are mea- sured instantly. For information about other Elks community proj- ects or membership, call 503-738-6651 or email sea- sideelks@yahoo.com Free ‘Get a Grasp on Medicare’ class offered in Seaside Tuesday The Daily Astorian SEASIDE — A “Get a Grasp on Medicare” class is being held from 1 to 3 p.m. Tuesday at the Bob Chisholm Community Center, 1225 Avenue A in Seaside.
