(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.)<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:14.0pt;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoPlainText><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoPlainText>3rd Senior Division Conference Call for 2016<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoPlainText><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoPlainText><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoPlainText><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoPlainText>5/11/16 How do you solve the little things in life after significant vision loss occurs?
