International Visitors Join Payson Lions For Night of Thanksgiving
The gift of sight is high among humanitarian concerns shared by chapters of the Lions Club International. Meeting at the Peteetneet for their bi-monthly meeting November 14, Payson Lions Club members met with a group of gentlemen who work directly with eyesight beneficiaries worldwide.
Gordon Carter of the Charity Anywhere Foundation, of Bountiful, Utah, discussed efforts in South America and beyond that are engaged in the disbursement of eyeglasses among impoverished populations worldwide. Citing their eyeglass and monetary contributions, Mr. Carter applauded the Lions Club’s generosity.
Mr. Carter was joined that evening by associate, Wes Whatcott, along with Dr. Jesus Asila, Carlos Celin, Dr. Dennys Paez, Victor Toaquiza, and Dr. Washington Zambrano, a group of professionals from Brazil and Ecuador who work directly with the charity and populations in need. The guests were treated to a special observance of a North American holiday: Thanksgiving, as the Lions shared in their traditional club feast.
They hoped to return to South America with a cargo crate filled with items needed by populations with whom they work. Crutches, canes, walkers, wheelchairs, dental, and medical needs are among items lacking in these regions. With the Christmas season upon us, they hoped also to have toys and bikes to return to children whose families cannot afford the luxury of such things.
Payson Lions expressed an interest in helping the group. Calls for contributions continued among the local chapter after the meeting had come to a close.

J Jeans and Things Sixth Annual Fall & Winter Fashion Show Unfolds This Weekend
The autumn chill and recent flurries call for new additions to local wardrobes. Showcasing some of the season’s freshest styles will be J Jeans and Things of Payson, as the clothing boutique’s owner, Jamie Rolfe invites everyone to attend the Fall & Winter Fashion Show. The event takes place this Saturday, November 9, at 1 PM, at Olson’s Garden Shoppe in Payson.
Entering its sixth year, the Fall & Winter Fashion Show provides guests the splendid opportunity to view new fashion without traveling outside Payson. Forty models from Utah Valley will stroll the catwalk that day. Rolfe’s daughter, Lilly, age five, will be among the youngest. She has been modeling for J Jeans and Things fashion shows, which occur twice a year, all her life.
J Jeans’ clothing is available for purchase at its Payson location, a boutique beautifully incorporated into the Olson’s Garden Shoppe building, as well as online and at events Rolfe participates in throughout the year.
Be it on the catwalk or on the rack, expect to find popular prints, perfect for mixing: stripes, polka dots, along with the Aztec and Chevron designs. LA Idol Jeans,maxi skirts--including maxi skirts for young girls--are among the styles you’ll find. Printed leggings, stylish jackets, and sweaters are available for purchase, too, all at great prices. New this year are styles in sizes up to triple-extra-large, as Rolfe hopes to accommodate most all her customers’ needs.
Expect to find the season’s most appealing floral designs, too. Olson’s Garden Shoppe’s co-owner and Rolfe’s mom, Chris Olson notes that poinsettias and floral arrangements for upcoming holidays will be a part of the runway decor. Planning ahead for festive celebrations, visitors can place orders now to ensure they will have their decorating needs well taken care of ahead of time..
With each purchase made at J Jeans this Saturday comes a special gift. J Jeans’ Fall & Winter Fashion Show may take place on Saturday, but the sales will occur all throughout the week.
Be sure to pay this fashionable place a visit this week, as well as on Saturday when the Fashion Show rolls out new styles for fall and winter. Olson’s Garden Shoppe and J Jeans and Things are located at 1190 West 400 North in Payson.
