A BIG THANKS TO VORTEX OPTICS
Lahontan Audubon Society owes a huge thank you to Vortex Optics, who each year, for the last 5-plus years,
have repaired a box full of well-used (some damaged) LAS binoculars used by the 500 or so elementary school children who attended the LAS field trips at Washoe Lake State Park. Vortex has never charged LAS a penny for this terrific service and has even paid return shipping back to us.
We encourage anyone who may be looking for binoculars to check out Vortex Optics.
They have a great variety of binoculars in a wide price range and provide amazing service.
Thanks so much, Vortex.
