As you likely know, Santa Clara County has proclaimed May lion’s eyeglass recycling month.  Last year I got an eyeglass donation box and my contact turned it in to someone else.  I am again in need of a donation box.  My contact has already sent out her message and is collecting glasses.

Would someone in the greater San Jose/Campbell area have a donation box I could have or use for this month?
