Santa Barbara Sight's First Patient

Sight Surgery International believes that Charity begins at home.  Sandi, a young woman with cancer, currently going through Chemo had a number of vision changes due to the medication.  Fortunately, one of our favorite Volunteer Vision Hero's, Dr. Marc Lowe, came to her rescue.  After her refraction, Ricky at the Santa Barbara Eye Glass Factory took care of her new glasses.  Many Many thanks to Dr. Lowe and the Feldman's at the Santa Barbara Eyeglass Factory.

SSI Meets with Dr. Ron Morton of Kern County SEE International

SSI volunteers, Ray Malcom and Baillie Brown drove to Bakersfield last week to give heartfelt hugs to Kern County SEE President ( totally separate from SEE International, SSI's stepsister), Dr. Ron Morton.  Dr. Morton is recovering from a stroke and we all wish him well.

Discussions with him sparked Ray to call  Mr.Carlos Perez in Mexico.  Carlos is the "Organizer without Peer" of Dr. Morton's surgical expeditions to Mexico.  Baillie and Ray look forward to assisting Dr. Morton in a collaborative  surgical adventure in Mexico.

SSI WELCOMES VOLUNTEER SANDI ACOSTA

Sight Surgery International extends a warm and heartfelt welcome to volunteer executive  assistant Sandi Acosta.  Sandi is just coming out of 18 weeks of chemo so her generous donation is especially touching.

Sandi is an experienced Office Manager, Executive Assistant and Accounting Manager.  She comes with administrative skills that Baillie (Director of Programs) and Stephanie (CFO and Secretary) urgently need. (at least Baillie does).  SSI has a number of grant proposals that need to be sent out and Sandi has agreed to help.  3 Cheers for Sandi!

SSI WELCOMES VOLUNTEER RAYSHAWN MALCOM

SSI  enthusiastically welcomes Ray Malcom as a valued volunteer.  Ray has a wealth of experience after a decade as Director of Operations at SEE International.  Ray's contacts within the Ophthalmic Pharmeceutical and Surgical Supply Houses are legendary.

Ray also volunteered to organize and implement SSI's Santa Barbara Sight Program.  This program provides free vision care services to disadvantaged patients in Santa Barbara County.

We are all looking forward to working with Ray again!

WELCOME WELCOME RAY!!!
