[NFBV-Seniors] FW: [NFB-Seniors] 2021 Virtual Senior Retreat Registration Form

[nancyyeager542 at comcast.net]

At last week's Seniors Division meeting we talked about the National Seniors
Division retreat to be held this September.  Attached and below is Retreat
Information along with the Registration Form.

Nancy Yeager, President
NFBV Seniors Division

VIRTUAL RETREAT APPLICATION
September 19-25, 2021

This virtual retreat focuses on promoting a sense of wellbeing and
self-confidence despite living with newly acquired vision loss, and/or
lifelong blindness. Our collective experience has taught us, that learning
about blindness from competent blind people, while sharing the camaraderie
of fellow retreat members, strengthens personal growth and guides seniors to
advocate for themselves. Participants can look forward to receiving training
in basic skills in adaptive techniques, development of new strategies for
solving problems, an introduction to valuable resources, all to be better
able to determine for themselves, what steps they can take to Live The Life
They Want. We cannot overstate the positive impact an individual will
experience as a member of a group of seniors, working together, sharing the
life-changing activities in a retreat of this nature; just ask one of our
recent graduates!

	ELIGIBILITY

Participants must be legally blind or have a serious change of vision. They
must have a strong desire to learn nonvisual techniques taught by competent
blind instructors. You do not have to be a senior or a member of the
National Federation of the Blind to apply.

	COST

The cost is $50 per attendee. Money must be received by August 30, 2021.
Payment can be either check or PayPal. PayPal accepts credit or debit cards.
Checks should be made payable to
