Thank you letter from a recipient of our eyeglass program.
Chris showed off his new swag chain believing (somewhere in his mind) that by wearing it he would be exempt from fines for the next 6 months. He did however donate $100 to our foundation as he’s so happy to have the BIG new necklace.
Also Chris said there is plenty of beer and soft drinks left over from our picnic which is available for purchase
