Lions Club members in Northwest Missouri have added another organization that fights visual impairment to the programs they support. The Children’s Center for the Visually Impaired started in 1952 with 8 youngsters. Last year the Center served 387 children within 150 miles of Kansas City. Traci Todd Murphy says many of the children are from the Saint Joseph area, and all are severely impaired. A benefit this weekend will help raise funds for the cause. 680 KFEQ’s Barry Birr has that story:

The poker run starts at ends at Saint Joseph Harley Davidson. It begins with breakfast at 8 a.m. Saturday. All riders are welcome. Riders will make a circle that includes Gower, Smithville, Weston, Rushville, and back to Saint Joseph at about 2 p.m. for more food and entertainment.
