My name is Jessica Beecham and I just moved to CO about a year ago.  

I am not sure about too many blindness related resources in Cannon City but We are interested in starting an NFBCO chapter in Cannon City.  

Contact me off list and We can look into resources in your area.  My email is jbeecham at cocenter.org and my phone is  303-778-1130 ext 223.  

Best Wishes

Jessica Beecham
