*The NJ Commission for the Blind and Visually Impaired *

*Invites You To: *

*The November 2025 *

*Community Connection Call*



*s“Tapping Back into the Basics: *

*Food, Family, Friends, and Fellowship.”*

*Aren’t All of these Better Together?*



*Wednesday, November 19, 2025 | 10:30am to 12:00pm*





*Hosted by Krystle Allen, CBVI Community Outreach Specialist  *



The festivities of summer have drawn to a close and our clocks have fallen
back. The approaching winter season heightens the coziness of comfort food
and fellowship with colleagues, family, and friends. In many ways, food
becomes the reason for many of our decisions, with the end goal of
nourishing our bodies and satisfying our appetites. Join NJ CBVI as we hear
from a representative of the Food Bank of NJ as our Keynote Presenter. And
then we’ll transition into the practice of table etiquette, conversation,
and cuisine, with tips from the Queens Corps Charm School.



*Keynote Presenter: *

   - *Yvonne Hendrick, Workforce Development Case Manager of the Foodbank
   of NJ*



*Resource Provider: *

   - *Talia E. Day, Dean of Queens Corps Charm School*





The benefits of networking and sharing information are the primary focus of
the Community Connection Calls. This month’s *“In Our Own Voices”*
panelists will share their stories. All are members of New Jersey’s blind,
deafblind, and visually impaired community.



*“In Our Own Voices”** Panelists:*
