Hi all,

 

Be the first in line to apply for a staff position at the 2016 EYE Retreat.  The 2016 EYE Retreat will be Friday, July 22 to Saturday, July 30.  As always, we listen to your feedback and we are asking everyone come a day early so that certified orientation and mobility specialists can help you in learning some of the sites we will use.  

 

There is no cost for you to attend and this equals about a $225.00 value.  Who can spend a week somewhere for that bargain of a price?  As usual, we will provide all food, housing, and transportation during the week.  We are sorry that other compensation isn't available.  Interviews will occur in the month of December.
