PREVIOUS EVENTS
MDA Lock-Up
Mary T. Johnson, our check out receptionist, recently participated in the MDA Lock-Up to benefit the Muscular Dystrophy Association. She was picked up on her lunch hour and taken to “jail” where she had to earn bail money for her release. Not to worry, the office was looking out for her! We raised a combined total of $328.00 dollars with patient and outside contributions. Once Mary gave her bail money, she was free to go. They even brought her back in a white stretch limo! Thanks Mary for your kind heart in helping out MDA “Jerry’s Kids.”
Annual Blood Drive
Greenville EyeCare Associates recently sponsored what has become an annual blood drive. Through the convenience of the Blood Connection’s onsite donor mobile, participants were able to give blood comfortably and with the professional care of the experts from the Blood Connection. Organizations like the Blood Connection depend on community involvement in these type of blood drives. Considered the “gift of life”, donations can benefit up to 3 people who need blood in emergency situations, for illnesses or for surgery. Greenville EyeCare Associates is proud to sponsor these blood drives to make their contribution to the Greenville community.
Trunk Show
On Thursday March 26th we had our annual spring trunk show. Our theme this year was “See Things a Whole New Way This Spring.” We boasted designer frames from Valentino, Juicy Couture, Giorgio Armani, and Liz Claiborne. Our patients enjoyed all the great discounts we offered as well as the opportunity to win prizes such as tickets to Biltmore House, Greenville Drive, Movie Tickets, or a gift certificate to Adam’s Bistro. The show was a huge success, and as always, lots of fun! We look forward to our next one coming up in the fall.
Christmas Party
We had our annual office Christmas party this year at the home of Doctor and Mrs. Weaver. We had great food from Rechauds Restaurant of Greer, and had tons of fun exchanging our secret pal gifts and playing a riveting game of Dirty Santa.
Tailgating Trunk Show
Our Tailgating Trunk Show and Cookout was a huge success. The patients as well as employees and doctors enjoyed the wide variety of frames to choose from, as well as the fun filled office. We had various games and drawings that day such as a football toss for frame discounts, and drawings for Clemson, USC, and Furman football tickets. All of the employees enjoyed dressing up in their favorite team shirts and painting their faces. The cookout was a tasty treat for all with Dr. Weaver behind the grill. Man, those hotdogs were good! Thank you to all of our patients who came out that day. If you missed it, don’t worry! We will have another trunk show soon and we will keep you posted as to when it will be.
October 28th, 2008
We threw a surprise office appreciation party for Melissa Weaver, our lead technician. Melissa has been working for Greenville Eyecare for 10 years, and has brought to our office her warmth and care for our patients, her dedication to continual education to deliver the best Eyecare possible, and her spunky personality that we all know and love. If you have the pleasure of seeing her when you come into our office, she will brighten your day with her kind words and genuine concern. Thanks for 10 great years, we love you Mel!

Hawaiian Day
On July 17th we had an amazing summer sale! We offered our patients, as well as walk-in customers 40% off of sunglass frames! We deemed it “Hawaiian Day” and the whole office (even the doctors!) dressed in their best Hawaiian outfits. We hope to see you at the next one, Aloha!
Acuvue Oasys for Astigmatism Open House
This lens is brand spanking new. We’re having an Open House in order to give our patients who previously have been unable to wear a contact lens due to their astigmatism the chance to try this new lens. Special discounts were given on the contact lens services and other products, including sunglasses. We raffled off 2 tickets to Six Flags and a year’s supply of this new lens.
Blood Drive
Here at Greenville Eyecare we know the importance of community. We take great pride in the fact that we have been serving the residents of Greenville for over 40 years. Recently we have stepped outside of our specific field of interest and found new ways to serve our community to the best of our ability. We participated in a blood drive sponsored by the Blood Connection on Tuesday June 24th. With an anticipated goal of only 8 donors, we blew them away when they drove away with 20 usable donations. Thanks to the participation of our staff, as well as friends, patients, and other local businesses, the blood drive was a great success.
