Hi You All  

A REMINDER - Join us for our second conference call for 2020. It is next
week - Wednesday the 18th.

 

Topic: Special Guest- Stacy Cervenka will talk to us on two topics: 

 

First, as the Director of Public Policy for the American Foundation for the
Blind (AFB), Stacy will cover the various services AFB has for blind
seniors. 

 

Second, she will fill us in on a website that she has created, and was
awarded the 2019 Holman Prize for its unique service for the blind; read the
below summary.

 

On June 3, 2019, Holman Prizewinner Stacy Cervenka launched the Blind
Travelers' Network, an online platform to connect blind and visually
impaired people with information and resources for nonvisual accessibility
in countries around the world. The platform hosts blog posts, reviews,

discussion boards, and event listings to help users expand their horizons,
leave their comfort zone behind, and explore new places.
