[jane degenshein]

Hello all,

We are pleased to announce this wonderful and highly affordable opportunity. 
The second virtual National Senior Division Retreat will be held from Sept. 
19 to Sept. 25
Hurry and register as the deadline is vastly approaching.

2021 Virtual Senior Retreat


September 19th through 25th, 2021
Anywhere and Everywhere

This virtual retreat focuses on promoting a sense of wellbeing and 
self-confidence despite living with newly acquired vision loss, and/or 
lifelong blindness. Our collective experience has taught us, that learning 
about blindness from competent blind people, while sharing the camaraderie 
of fellow retreat members, strengthens personal growth and guides seniors to 
advocate for themselves. Participants can look forward to receiving training 
in basic skills in adaptive techniques, development of new strategies for 
solving problems, an introduction to valuable resources, all to be better 
able to determine for themselves, what steps they can take to Live The Life 
They Want. We cannot overstate the positive impact an individual will 
experience as a member of a group of seniors, working together, sharing the 
life-changing activities in a retreat of this nature; just ask one of our 
recent graduates!
