                VIENNA VIP RESOURCE GROUP is hosting

                         Dr. Suleiman Alibhai OD,

                      LOW VISION SERVICES PLC. on 

                Monday, March 27, 2023 @ 2PM - 4PM at the 

                    Patrick Henry Library Conference Room

                           101 Maple Ave. Vienna VA

Dr. Alibhai truly needs no introduction for most of us in the Low Vision
Community, as he is a "rockstar" to Low Vision in the DC Metropolitan Area.
But for the benefit of those who may not know him personally yet, we
encourage you to come see and meet him! 

Dr. Suleiman Alibhai OD completed his optometric training at the University
of Houston College of Optometry in 1991. He then pursued a fellowship in low
vision rehabilitation at the Lions Low Vision Research and Rehabilitation
Center at Johns Hopkins Wilmer Eye Institute. He has been practicing low
vision rehabilitation in the Washington DC area since 1993, and eventually
set up Low Vision Services, PLC in 2008, practicing out of three office
locations; Alexandria, VA, Bethesda, MD and Washington DC. 

Please mark your calendars!  You won't want to miss this opportunity to
listen to Dr. Alibhai's wealth of knowledge and wise, empowering
explanations of low vision and legal blindness and many of the compensatory
mechanisms that help keep us independent and high functioning!

You will find a Zoom link below, to "LISTEN ONLY" to our speaker. There will
be NO option to participate with questions or comments virtually.  We
apologize, but the logistics are too difficult to have you participate on
zoom with the acoustics in our conference room. We really hope to see most
of you IN PERSON! Please note the Zoom option is subject to our ability to
connect to Wi-Fi at the library. Assuming we can connect, the Zoom room will
be opened at approximately 2:10 so that Zoom participants can hear the
speaker but not the noise of people getting settled.

Looking forward to seeing you all this Monday!

All the best,

Ann Koch
