Hull – The Bay View Room of the Sea Dog Pub in Hull was the setting for a recent reception and fundraising auction for the South Shore’s Manet Community Health Center. Helen Shiner, manager of Jack Conway, Realtor’s Quincy office, was one of the hosts for the affair, which honored Dr. Jennifer Sabir for five years of service at the Manet medical practice in Hull.

“The event was intended to recognize Dr. Sabir and to increase the center’s visibility in the town,” said Shiner, who is a member of the health facility’s philanthropy committee. “Jack Conway Co. has an affinity program with the Manet Community Health Center that has been working well for us and them,” said Shiner. “Whenever clients, employees, friends or family members at any of the center’s five locations buy or sell a home through a Conway agent, they get a check from our company and a donation is made to the organization.”

Manet recently celebrated its 30th anniversary of meeting the needs of medically under served South Shore residents. The center opened its first practice in Quincy in 1979 and now has sites in Houghs Neck, Hull, North Quincy, the Quincy Medical Center, and Snug Harbor. According to CEO Henry Tuttle, his group’s mission is “to provide accessible, quality health care for all, regardless of ability to pay.”

Addressing the crowd of guests in the Bay View Room, Tuttle expressed his appreciation to the individual and corporate donors who sponsored the evening and have helped his center to grow and expand. Recognizing the Conway Country contingent, he said, “We thank the Jack Conway Company and its representatives – Dick Cahill, Maureen McCaffrey, and especially Helen Shiner, for her volunteer leadership. We are grateful for their support and look forward to their future involvement in Manet events.” The CEO reported that his organization now has 140 employees treating about 14,000 patients in Norfolk, Plymouth and Suffolk Counties.

Conway-Hull Manager Maureen Barry and Realtor Joan Eccles were among the volunteers at the Manet auction and fellow agent Mark Abatuno also attended. “Funds were raised, friends were made, and a good time was had by all,” said Shiner, who won two Patriots pre-season football tickets at the auction but promptly donated them back to the cause. “Now we’re looking forward to the Health Center’s Annual Fall Gala, which will be held on Friday, Oct. 29, from 6-10 p.m. at the Granite Link Golf Club in Quincy.”
