[NFBofAlaska] Alaska Center for the Blind April Support Groups for April

Wed Apr 14 04:37:36 UTC 2021

Greetings Everyone,

I received a couple notes and calls from folks who thought we had a support
group this past Wednesday. April is one of those months that can be a bit
confusing. The first day occurred on Thursday, and it is easy to think that
by Wednesday April 7, we should already be at the second week of the month;
But the second Wednesday is tomorrow, on the 14th. Our meeting dates will be
the 14th, the 21st and the 28th beginning at 1:00. We are looking forward to
having you join to learn, socialize, and share your knowledge! 

Currently, we have a presentation from Shauna Jatho who is a nurse educator
from the Vanda Pharmaceutical Company. Her topic will be Non24. This is a
condition that effects some people with vision loss. Even if you do not have
this condition, Shauna's presentation is interesting and will be
informative. 

I am working on having someone from Public Health in Alaska do a
presentation on all things Vaccination and COVID. Stay tuned for more
information regarding that topic. For the final support group, I would love
to hear from you about something you'd like to have covered! Don't hesitate
to call or send me a note expressing your interest. Think about something
you have done in the past but no longer do because of vision loss. Other
than driving or reading regular print with your eyes, I willing to tackle
just about any topic so "Bring it on!"

Here is the Zoom link and the one-tap mobile number. If you would like to
have the number as a contact card texted to you, please call Bonnie Lucas at
907-301-6808.

The National Federation of the Blind knows that blindness is not the
characteristic that defines you or your future. Every day we raise the
expectations of blind people, because low expectations create obstacles
between blind people and our dreams. You can live the life you want;
blindness is not what holds you back.

[Delegate-BML]
