The Fulton Lions Club received a visit and presentation from Aurora of CNY, Inc. for their May 19 meeting.
David DeFrancis, director of outreach and education hearing and vision loss services for Aurora, explained the mission of the organization and shared some case histories. Aurora serves seniors 60 years old and over with vision and hearing loss in Onondaga, Oswego and Cayuga counties.
Aurora provides a wide variety of equipment and programs to help seniors have a better quality of life.
