“Hi there. I bought these glasses and they don’t fit me. Can you please make them fit?” I hear this question so frequently- most folks recognize that a shop with the word ‘Optical’ means service with respects to eyewear. My response to that statement that I hear more and more often is, “Well have you returned to the dispensary you bought them from for them to address the issues you’re having?”. All too often, the reply is no, they bought them online so there’s nowhere to go, and the instructions for making them fit don’t work.
Our chapter started in 2009 here in Kelowna and our cause is to raise monies to fight Prostate Cancer through Research and Awareness in the Okanagan. We have raised approximately $100,000.00 since we started. The funds raised here stay here and we present a cheque to the local Sindi Hawkins Clinic each year. This year it was for $26,085 up from $16k last year.
