Killarney Optometric Centre
Our thanks to Killarney Optometric Centre who went ‘all-out’ again this year raising $5000: “This year we had a wonderful time putting together our second annual fundraising play ‘Legend of Sleepy Hollow’. Our own Dr. Dustin McGill was the star performer, portraying Ichabod Crane, and Dr. Candace DeCock was the play director. All the actors are local, and put in many hours of rehearsal time. This year we expanded the fundraising event to two nights! The first night included a lovely five course meal, served by the Optometric staff, and we held an auction for several donated items which was announced by our local auctioneer who once again generously offered his time and talent. The second night featured the same performance, but more casual with desserts and coffee along with a silent auction and 50/50 draw. The play backdrop, the candle centrepieces and the décor on the tables/entrance were all designed by our staff members! In addition, our practice matched all donations received from patients and the community, donated $5 from each pair of glasses sold in October, and invited patients to donate throughout the year after glasses adjustments and other small services.” Sincere thanks to everyone at Killarney Optometric Centre for all of your efforts in helping people in need to see!
