Silver Bells is an opportunity for people who are 55 years and older,
experiencing vision loss, live in Virginia, and have the stamina to embark
on an exciting training opportunity! 

>From hands-on lessons to thought-provoking discussions ... from classic
confidence building to new friendships, this just might make the list of
your favorite things you do in 2024.

Haven't heard of Silver BELLS yet?  Here is just a short list of benefits


* It’s camaraderie in the company of new friends.

* It’s learning confidence in the comfort of a safe environment.

* It’s getting answers to your gnawing concerns from people who get it.

* It’s you, and us, working side by side to tackle day-to-day independent
living skills.

* It’s games and socializing when we aren’t doing the hard work.

* And this is only the start of what we hope will be an ongoing partnership.

If you have the desire to be the most independent version of yourself, we
invite you to apply to attend  our last retreat for 2024! You will have the
opportunity for hands-on fundamental training in home management,
technology, travel, and communications. Learn to take charge of your own
personal tasks. Just because you are low vision or blind does not mean you
need to rely on someone else.

 

Why Silver Bells? Because you deserve and have earned the right to FREEDOM,
RESPECT, and DIGNITY!
