Dear friends of Bonhomme,
We are delighted to announce that we donated $137,000 in donations to our partners this year. This is the second largest donation in our history. In second place, just behind... 2023. This sum enables us to reach the 1.5 million plateau in donations since our foundation. It's a privilege to be able to distribute our cheques every year. Thank you to everyone who has contributed in any way.
Our success over the last few years has always begun with our partners. Thank you for supporting us. Thank you for talking about us. Your loyalty and trust make our lives so much easier, allowing us to focus on our mission of making eyewear affordable for everyone. It's a great fit. It's a pleasure to work with you every week. In some cases, for over 10 years already. Time passes, but win-win partnerships remain. You are now more than 75 to welcome us. Thank you so much!
To our customers, thank you for your loyalty. You're spoilt for choice, and yet you continue to support an independent Québec company like ours. Thanks to you, we have the opportunity not only to continue lending a hand to our partners, but also to do our utmost to keep our base prices the same as they were in 2007. Seeing clearly is not a luxury, even in times of inflation. We will continue to put accessibility at the heart of our concerns, while continuing to offer you quality products and service. In short, we're going to continue to honor our Protégez-Vous seal.
I'd also like to take a moment to warmly thank all my hard-working team, who take our mission to heart. A special thank you to our opticians and employees who have been with us for many years. We have fun while continuing to defend an altruistic vision of vision. It's hard to ask for more. Thank you for placing your trust in me, and above all, thank you for continuing to offer exceptional service. Enjoy your vacation!
Allow me to finish this by wishing you all the very best for the holiday season. Excellent health, a clear vision, solidarity and many fine moments in 2025.
With all our gratitude,
Philippe Rochette and the Bonhomme à lunettes crew
