[Nebraska-senior-blind] National Senior Division - May Conference Call - May 11

[Robert Leslie Newman]

Hi you all - the below notice is for a nationwide conference call to talk
about how to not allow your blindness to keep you from doing all the little
things in life which in a large part makes up the quality of life. (The
National Senior Division is made up of many seniors from all 50 states; a
person can belong to both, though it is not necessary. some of us like to
help with senior issues that occur, no matter where you live. And for your
information, only two other states have monthly calls like what Nebraska
has. However, these national calls are not a meeting, but only deal with a
specific issue of life; the guest speaker talks, and all else on the phone
chime in with questions and comments.)

loss occurs?  Moderator, Jan bailey,  Minnesota

 

 

 

My name is Jan Bailey and I was a rehabilitation counselor for 31 

years at State Services for the Blind.   I have a Master's Degree in 

rehabilitation counseling from Utah State University.

 

 

 

I have been blind all of my life. Six years ago I became a contract 

vendor for the state of MN and started my own business JB 

Rehabilitation Enterprises.

 

I teach classes to seniors to help them adjust to their vision loss, 

I teach Braille, daily living and cooking skills to blind teens and 

adults, I'm chair of the board of the MN State academies for the 

Blind and Deaf, am president of my local National Federation of the 

Blind chapter, and am also a member of the state board of NFB of MN.

 

 

 

I'm a member of the Lions Club, and do a lot of volunteer work for my
church.
