Boo, I hope I didn't scare you!

If you think it is scary to experience losing your eyesight, you are not
alone! Based on what so many have told me, it is the scariest thing that has
happened to most people. For this reason, we have our monthly support groups
so folks can interact with those having similar experiences and get to know
those who have made it past the scary part! It does happen and we hope you
will join us to gain valuable experiences and information. The following
topics will be covered during October and November. They include:

*       Wednesday Oct. 12 at 1:00: Come learn about rank choice voting and
how to register to vote. You may already be registered without knowing it.
(Presented by AARP)

*       Wednesday, October 27 at 1:00: All about Scams, now that is scary!
(Presented by AARP.) 

*       Wednesday, November 9 at 1:00: Come learn some tips and tricks from
Center staff that will help you communicate better and mingle more
effectively with your sighted friends and family during the long Holiday
Season!

*       Wednesday, November 16 at 1:00: We have an awesome opportunity to
learn how to make wreaths with the help and supplies from the staff at the
Alaska Botanical Gardens. Stacy, who led our guided tour in September is
drying some lovely outdoor plant treasures and will show us how to make this
lovely creation. The maximum number of participants will be fifteen, and the
cost is $20. If this is something you really want to do but simply cannot
afford the cost, please let Bonnie know at 907-771-4306. To sign up, call
Bonnie or leave your information with Jocelyn.

*       Due to the Thanksgiving holiday, we will not be meeting on the
fourth Wednesday. 

You may join on Zoom for all discussions. However, the wreath making will
not include a Zoom connection. 

All other listed topics will provide a Zoom connection to follow, along with
phone number to call in.
