> We have invited members of the Arizona Senate and House of Representatives in order to continue raising their awareness about the blind in Arizona. I encourage you to participate so we can share our positive philosophy about blindness with legislators and policy makers. The highlight of the day’s activities is our screening of the critically acclaimed documentary Do You Dream in color?.
>  
> Do You Dream in Color? is the coming-of-age story of four courageous blind high school students as they strive to prove that their disability will not hold them back from achieving their dreams. At our national convention this past summer, the producers of this documentary, Abigail Fuller and Sarah Ivy, the co-directors, were presented with the top prize of our prestigious Dr.. Jacob Bolotin Awards. We are showing this  documentary because it portrays the blind experience in a way that is consistent with our philosophy.
