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 life-changing activities in a
retreat of this nature; just ask one of our recent graduates!<span></span></font></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:0in;background-image:initial;background-position:initial;background-size:initial;background-repeat:initial;background-origin:initial;background-clip:initial"><span><font face="tahoma, sans-serif" size="4">Â </font></span></p><h1><span style="line-height:107%"><font face="tahoma, sans-serif" size="4">Schedule<span></span></font></span></h1><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:0in;background-image:initial;background-position:initial;background-size:initial;background-repeat:initial;background-origin:initial;background-clip:initial"><font face="tahoma, sans-serif" size="4">Note: All times listed are in
