Our Cinco de Mayo/ROGER EYEWEAR shindig was super fun! It was good vibes all afternoon in the shop as friends, great customers, and fans of Roger’s came in to meet and enjoy cerveza, mexican soda & tacos provided by A DJ and A Cook!
Good people, great glasses, awesome eats
Our favorite part of the day is getting to see the cool people who are inspired by & stylishly represent our favorite Dutch designer’s goods. Here are a few snaps of him and one of his dedicated clients, Marita.
Marita is basically the quintessential model for Roger Eye Design’s bold, exciting looks…
She’s already on her 4th pair!
We are delightfully awestruck by every one she wears 🙂
Tony is the “baby” of the EOF family, just having joined the team at the end of December 2015! He brings a wealth of experience fresh from his time in the SCCC Opticianry program & as an ABO/NCLE certified dispenser.
His EOF “Specialty”:
Tony’s outgoing nature & passion for eyewear fashion makes him a lively optical frame consultant and dispenser…
his boisterous laughter is an definitely an “ice-breaker”! It’s possible Tony is one of the most friendly and light-hearted opticians of our bunch! He brings a great balance of optical knowledge and enthusiasm for eyewear styling to the EOF team.
Some of what maintains Tony’s youthful attitude toward life:
One quintessential item always seen on Tony’s person is a set of headphones– He loves to have tunes filling his head at all times, and most often its some form of Hip Hop.
Outside of the shop, Tony can be found “ballin”- literally, on the basketball court! Basketball is his favorite sport to play & he’s even been a b-ball card collector since childhood….
AND, he’s also a longtime fan of cars, but his love for them goes well beyond his own interests- it’s a mutual passion that bonds Tony to his four year-old son.
In light of the holiday season, Eyes on Fremont wanted to give back to some part of our community that deserves our recognition for what they have given. This year we would like to acknowledge the efforts and service of Veterans through SOLDIERS ANGELS. For each complete pair purchased at our shop starting December 15th through the end of the year, we are gratefully donating a pair of glasses to the Puget Sound chapter of Soldiers Angels, an organization that provides support & living services for the growing number of Veterans in our area. It is a small gesture on our part, but one that we hope generates more awareness to a group of people who deserve our appreciation for giving so much for our community. For more information about this organization, check out www.soldiersangels.org
