There was also a supplement to the magazine that had a pen pal section where readers interested in finding pen pals could list their interests and how they wanted to be contacted. The supplement also had an events section where blindness-related events, such as summer camps and different classes, were posted as readers submitted them. There was also another section for announcements, where readers could announce anything that was going on or talk about promotions in their businesses and other things of this nature. Toward the end, a chat line section was even created to list all chat lines that readers sent in. At the end of the magazine, there was a reader discussion section where readers of the magazine could comment on any of the articles published in the magazine previously. Most of the authors were regular contributors who were blind themselves and shared a lot of their own personal experiences with blindness, guide dogs, and blindness-related technology, but they also had other contributors who were sighted who dealt with subjects such as their experiences with teaching the blind or parenting a blind child, among other things. The magazine always started with a short letter from the editor describing any specific articles that would be in the magazine and if there were any announcements or new sections that would be added. They also changed editors a few months back, so I am not sure if that had anything to do with the discontinuation of it, although I am assuming that that was a decision made by the board as indicated in the editor's last letter.
