Our
donation to last year’s Rotary TV Auction attracted the event’s highest
bid. This year we are once again donating a complete hearing package
valued at $6,400.
What we’re offering are the most advanced
hearing instruments available. We’re also including a wireless package
that connects to the wearer’s TV, phone, computer or iPad.
The
nearly invisible hearing aids, come with a two-year warranty and a
one-year supply of batteries. Just as important – if not more so – as
the device itself, though, is the custom set-up, unlimited fine-tuning
and Listening and Communication Enhancement (LACE) therapy that are also
included with the package.
I will personally help the winner of
this package to choose the appropriate style, color and accessories to
match their hearing needs and lifestyle. The winner will, like every one
of our clients, gets free lifetime follow-up appointments, including
fittings, cleaning, maintenance and adjustments due to hearing change.
The
hearing package is up for bid now with no reserve along with other
items in the Campbell River Rotary Club’s annual auction. Funds raised
will go toward connecting the existing hiking trails at Elk Falls with a
new suspension bridge slated for completion next summer. Last year, our
donation sold for $4,900, a significant savings for the winning bidder
that nonetheless represented nearly five per cent of the auction’s
fundraising total of $95,000.
Now, I admit, the donation is partly motivated by self-interest.
