DORIS RETURNS

Doris has been away, that lovely man Peter took her on a bike trip from the 7th of March to the 15th of March. Accompanied by whole bunch of people for a whole long time. Doris joined this group of bike riders who were riding for an exceptionally worth while cause Corners for Kids. In their own words not only was this event about raising funds for Inspire's Reach Out service, the riders spent the week spreading the word to young people and their families that there is help, information and support available when they, or someone they know, is going through a difficult time.

Below are photos from the event in which Doris was a keen and active particpant.


Doris prepares for take off.

I think Doris had the best seat in the house the entire trip.

Doris is modelled upon fellow Bike riders Ray Griffen a founding member and Jo Jarvis from the Inspire Foundation

Bicheno which is a bike friendly town unexpectedly hosted a event for the travellers- an amazing cake was made in their honour. Mayor, Frenchman Bertrand Cadartown a delightful character was the host for the evening Doris was there to help celebrate at this event.

In the mood for a reinvention? - What happens at a DIOPTICS trunk show? There are cupcakes - international representatives - Easter eggs - drinks and even sushi. But most importantly this is the opportunity for the members of the Dioptics fan club to view entire collections from our selected designers.

Providing them with the opportunity to purchase a manificent pair of face furniture- that we may not stock, let alone any one else in Australia.

Trunk shows are also an opportunity to come and have a cuppa and a gossip with the girls.
