***********************

At Starbucks, tasting and sharing coffee is a daily ritual. Join us and
along with a Starbucks barista we will explore the four coffee tasting
steps – smell, slurp, locate and describe – to discover the rich and
complex flavors of coffee. And in the comfort of the Starbucks store, learn
more about Aira, a service that provides people who are blind or have low
vision with access to visual information.



Aira is one way Starbucks is creating accessible experiences in their
stores across the United States. What can you do with Aira at Starbucks?  With
assistance from an Aira Agent, you can:

   - Navigate independently and promptly to and from the store
   - Practice social distancing in line
   - Get access to the visual menu of the latest seasonal drinks
   - Identify a person with whom you are meeting
   - Find a comfy spot to enjoy your beverage!

Join us for a live event in one of eight cities to learn more about Aira,
enhance your independence, enjoy a coffee, and get to know your fellow
community members. RSVP is preferred but not required. Bring a friend,
bring a family member – we want to spread the word about Aira at Starbucks.
