The purpose of the Silver BELLS program is to help people greet blindness or vision loss not with fear but hope. The program is being designed to meet the individual needs of each participant by providing basic core skills. This will be done by offering instruction and mentoring during a 3 day in person workshop. Through this program we hope participants will gain confidence and learn skills to continue living the life they want to live.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p style="margin-right: 0in; margin-bottom: 8.05pt; margin-left: 0in; font-stretch: normal; font-size-adjust: none; font-kerning: auto; font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-position: normal; font-feature-settings: normal; font-optical-sizing: auto; font-variation-settings: normal; -webkit-text-stroke-color: rgb(0, 0, 0);"><span style="font-size: 18pt; font-family: Helvetica, sans-serif;"> <o:p></o:p></span></p><p style="margin-right: 0in; margin-bottom: 8.05pt; margin-left: 0in; font-stretch: normal; font-size-adjust: none; font-kerning: auto; font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-position: normal; font-feature-settings: normal; font-optical-sizing: auto; font-variation-settings: normal; -webkit-text-stroke-color: rgb(0, 0, 0);"><span style="font-size: 18pt; font-family: Helvetica, sans-serif;">The idea of creating the Silver BELLS program in Idaho started through conversations of participants of the monthly group for people losing vision as adults. It gained further momentum at State Convention this past Spring, after a panel discussion broached the idea to the convention attendees. It is now your turn to keep this moving forward. Please contribute during this time of giving, to help us build this new opportunity for the residents of Idaho.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in; font-size: 12pt; font-family: Aptos, sans-serif;"><o:p> </o:p></p><p class="xmsoplaintext" style="margin: 0in; font-size: 12pt; font-family: Aptos, sans-serif;"><span style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;"> </span></p><p class="xmsoplaintext" style="margin: 0in; font-size: 12pt; font-family: Aptos, sans-serif;"><span style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;">Contributions can be made either on our affiliate website, <</span><a href="http://www.nfbidaho.org/donate" style="color: blue;"><span style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; color: rgb(70, 120, 134);">http://www.nfbidaho.org/donate</span></a><span style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;">> </span><a href="http://www.nfbidaho.org/donate" style="color: blue;"><span style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; color: rgb(70, 120, 134);">www.nfbidaho.org/donate</span></a><span style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;">, or by mailing a check to our treasurer, Don Winiecki at <u><span dir="ltr">1422 E.
