Nutrition Month Book Giveaway 

 

 Eating Forward

 

March is Nutrition Month!  As you know at MVO we actively promote ways to protect your eyesight, and a healthy diet is an important part of that goal. 

Like most busy people, you are very interested in doing what it takes to provide proper nutrition for your family, but are often challenged to find enough time in the day to make it happen.  Well, you now have some help from our good friend, international bestselling author and mother of seven (!) Sandi Richard.

Sandi's passion is to bring families back to the dinner table, while improving the relationships in the home.  She has written five books on the subject and is the 3 time award winning host of Fixing Dinner  on Food Network Canada, American Life TV and Discovery Asia.

To help you bring great nutrition to your family (and protect their eyesight at the same time) we are giving away FREE copies of her latest book "Eating Forward - The New Way to create amazing and easy family dinners".  All you have to do is refer a friend to Mountain View Optometry for an eye exam (Calgary or Cochrane location).  Ask your friend to use the promo phrase "Eat Right and Save your Sight" when booking their appointment and we'll give each of you a copy of Sandi's latest book*.  A $27.00 value per copy - while supplies last, so call or email now!

    

* Contest Rules:  limit one copy per household.  New patient will receive their copy when they come in for their eye exam; referring person may pick up their copy at their convenience.  While supplies last

MVO Tops in Canada for World Sight Day Fundraiser

  

World Sight Day 

 

Recently we received the official word that Mountain View Optometry was first in Canada for fundraising during Optometry Giving Sight's worldwide fundraiser last fall!  Optometry Giving Sight focuses on the over 600 million people worldwide who cannot see clearly because they cannot access or afford vision care services.

Our practice won the number one position out of 227 practices across the country in both categories:  Patient/staff fundraising and total highest amounts donated (practice/Doctor donations plus patient/staff fundraising combined). 

 

 

A huge Thank You goes out to all our patients, staff, doctors and sponsors who helped make this our most successful fundraiser yet, and especially to Amber Grove who again came forward with a spectacular organizing effort.  Together we raised a total of $7,798.00 towards the prevention of avoidable blindness worldwide.

Here are our great sponsors who donated products towards our silent auction:  Nikon Canada, Carl Zeiss Canada, Safilo, Advanced Medical Optics, iFrame, Maui Jim, Ronor International, Creating Balance, Oakley Canada.
