<DIV>The Year 2020 Marks the 110th Anniversary of the Establishment of
the</DIV>
<DIV>New Jersey Commission for the Blind and Visually Impaired (CBVI)</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>We are particularly proud of this milestone, not only because New
Jersey
was one of the first states to establish an agency for people who are blind,
but
also because our state remains a front-runner in the field of services for
persons with vision loss.</DIV>
