The Michigan Eye Bank, member of the Eye Bank Association of America, was started eight years ago by the Ann Arbor Lions Club in co-operation with the U-M Medical Center. Many Lions clubs in the state now help finance the project. This sign in the new office lists the substations covering most of the Lower Peninsula. Dr. John W. Henderson of the U-M is medical director of the State Eye Bank, and John P. Paup of Ann Arbor is treasurer.

Names of more than 12,000 Michigan citizens who have pledged use of their eyes after death so that someone else may see are kept at the Center. Mrs. Mary F. Hubbell (left) is office secretary. Two members of the Numa Club, the Lions' "auxiliary," Mrs. Frank Staffan (center) and Mrs. John W. Gillen help file donor pledges and answer requests for them. Ann Arbor also has a ham radio "station" on a national network which twice a day coordinates the supply and demand for eyes to be used in corneal transplants. Robert V. Austin operates the station here.

SUPPORT EYE PROGRAM: President Mrs. Wilfred Graf, on behalf of the Numa Club, presents Dr. John Henderson, medical director of the Michigan Eye Collection Center, an eye receptacle used for transporting a donor eye to Ann Arbor. The Numa Club, which is a local organization of wives of Lions Club members, is primarily interested in contributing to the Eye Bank, located at the University Medical Center. The Collection Center makes it possible for individuals to sign pledge cards donating their eyes to the bank at the time of death. The Lions Club co-operated with the Medical Center in setting up the eye bank for corneal transplants and research.
