Planning a party for World Sight Day

Share this story:

What fun choosing party supplies! Seva’s planning a party at Vancouver’s Heritage Hall to mark World Sight Day, Thursday October 8th, and yesterday we visited A&B Partytime Rentals to choose all the supplies we need for the event.

A&B Partytime Rentals is a great family firm that has just celebrated its 50th anniversary. They’ve helped Seva out with previous events and I have to say that it is a joy to work with them. They call themselves a “full service” party and corporate event rental company and they’re not kidding.

From the moment we stepped into their lovely showroom, we had extremely helpful and friendly service. Board member, Nancy Mortifee, and I got advice on everything from martini glasses for our special cocktail (the Eye Opener) to table linens. We would like to express our huge thanks to co-owner, Daniel Sebal, for his kindness and generosity to Seva.

So, mark your calendars for Thursday October 8th at the Heritage Hall. Jane Mortifee and her band will be performing. Special guests include Dr. Paul Courtright of the Kilimanjaro Centre for Community Ophthalmology in Tanzania and Dr. Salma Rai, a Seva-trained ophthalmologist from Nepal.
