Valentines Charity Eyeball

The Northern Ireland Optometric Society charity Valentines Ball went off with a spectacular bang on Valentines night with people travelling from all parts of Northern Ireland to enjoy a luxurious meal and some outrageous dancing! Attendees cut quite a dash at the Ramada Hotel, Belfast, whilst being ‘papped’ by photographers from several glossy magazines.

We haven’t managed to total the sum raised yet but it will clearly be a significant amount. I am so chuffed that, considering the way the economy is at the moment, people have delved so deep into their pockets! Both Vision Aid Overseas and the RNIB will be extremely grateful.

With the success of this event, we have managed to do a really good thing, at the same time as spending some very enjoyable time with friends and loved ones. We will definitely be looking at doing something similar again next year. If anyone has any thoughts about charity fundraising, please do let us know. Many thanks to all the people who put in so much hard earned free time to help organise it.
