Subject: Vision & Vocational Services discontinues operations March 2, 2012

 

Vision & Vocational Services will cease accepting new business
authorizations and stop existing services effective March 2, 2012. During
the week of March 5th through the 9th, VVS staff will be working with RSC
and other vendors to finish and/or transition any existing business to
appropriate resources. 

VVS will continue to perform administrative functions to process invoices,
bill for services already provided, etc. beyond March 2nd.

Founded in 1927, Vision & Vocational Services has served thousands of
individuals with disabilities by providing low vision optometric
examinations, adaptive aids/equipment, job coaching, job development, work
adjustment assistance and training in our workshop. 

On behalf of the Board of Directors, senior management, and the rest of the
staff, we want to thank you for your past business and support.

If you have questions, please call or e-mail either me or Michael Hanes.

Sincerely,

Robert Turner
