Provide narrative indicating why this person should receive this award.

Our nominee for professional volunteer of the year is our 
favorite optometrist. Dr. Jim Welborn.

Dr. Welborn is a dedicated, hard working, professional 
volunteer involved not only with our clinic but in the community. 
He is active in the Lions Club and has been the recipient of many 
community awards.

Dr. Welborn has been a part of the MHCC from our first day; donating 
the equipment needed and personally setting up our eye clinic. 
He has rarely missed a clinic in the last six years.

Dr. Welborn is a quiet man with a big heart. He is kind and caring 
with his patients. He shows by example that each person is a child
of God and is to be treated with love and respect.

He spends 30-45 minutes with each patient he examines. Many of 
the persons he examines have never had their eyes checked or if 
they have it was years ago. If glasses are needed, he sees that 
they are ordered and are ready for pick-up at the next clinic, 
two weeks later. It is hard to describe the happiness that 
the patients express when they put on their glasses,
 "....wow, I can see." 
Many have tears and hugs for Dr. Welborn and his staff. For many 
of our patients gelling glasses is a God-send. It opens up 
opportunities for getting back into the work force.

His dedication and hard work are responsible for many needy 
persons in our community regaining hope and being able to 
see again. His presence inspires and gives Joy to all of our 
volunteers. We highly recommend Dr. Jim Welborn for the AACC 
Professional Volunteer of the Year award.

Thanks to all the Lions Club members for making this one
 of the best day of my live.






















I think maybe they are calling me a FAT HOG


But I love every one of my fellow Lions and 

I got a very good ham out of the Boss Hog Award
