Our Clients Are Event Planners!
January kicked off the first meeting of the year for our Client Event Planning Committee. The committee consists of a group of 10 BCABVI clients, led by Deb B., who meet virtually to plan upcoming monthly client events, ensuring these activities are fun and engaging.
At the meeting, the committee outlined this year's activities, which include bingo, a tote bag workshop, sports day, trivia, and much more. Additionally, the committee planned the menus for lunches that will be served at the events.
Marcie, our Vision Services Facilitator, is the liaison for the group, facilitating and coordinating the events with our clients.
“Clients need a voice in what they are participating in. It’s important that the activities we offer are what the clients want to do and are interested in. These 10 individuals have a finger on the pulse of everyone who is a part of our services. They give suggestions, everyone is heard, and they are accommodating.” - Marcie Filiano
Our client committee members shared their thoughts on the importance of these events:
These activities are a helpful way to meet up with friends and people you haven’t met before. - Deb B.
It’s a great first-time experience for people, talking to others, and having a good time. - Lottie W.
These activities break the ice for new clients. - Joe S.
Sometimes this is the only time people get out. - Dolly C.
Many thanks to our clients for helping to make our in-person events a success.
