Seminars at Hadley Presents:
Geography: Talking Travel: Explore Alaska!
Date: Tuesday, September 20, 2016
Time: 11:00 AM CDT; 16:00 GMT

Glaciers, active volcanos, whales, bald eagles, three million lakes, eighteen hundred islands, nine national parks, thousands of miles of untamed wilderness and Denali — the highest peak in North America. Alaska has it all! 

Join Seminars at Hadley as we explore the “Land of the Midnight Sun” with SueEllen O’Connor, Hadley Ambassador and Alaska State Blind Services Coordinator, and Hadley instructors Debbie Good and James Thoune, who have toured Alaska. Our virtual trip will include: cruising along the Inside Passage; exploring the wilderness by train and boat; and discovering the cultures of the indigenous Alaska Natives. Hear about the USA’s 49th State that is more than twice the size of Texas. Come join our adventure!

Dawn Turco, Hadley senior vice president, will moderate this 60-minute presentation. A question and answer session will be included as part of the seminar. This seminar is audio-only, and space is limited. Please register only if you know you are available to attend so that others are not closed out.

Seminars at Hadley Presents:
Low Vision Focus @ Hadley Presents:
Magnifiers and Magnification – It’s Not Just Optics
Date: Thursday, September 22, 2016
Time: 1:00 PM CDT; 18:00 GMT

Magnification devices can be a wonderful help or a huge frustration. Choosing the right magnifier is not simple. Using one effectively takes training and practice, and receiving the assistance of an expert in this process is the key to success.

Join Low Vision Focus at Hadley as Bryan Gerritsen, M.A., Certified Low Vision Therapist and nationally recognized expert on low vision devices and training, explains how magnification works; pitfalls to avoid when choosing and using magnification; and the critical factors that contribute to a successful experience.

Ed Haines, Hadley Instructor and member of the Seminars at Hadley team, will moderate this 60-minute presentation. A question and answer session will be included as part of the seminar.
