[Ohio-talk] {Spam?} Fw: Survey to Help Determine Need for Vision Services

Sat Aug 27 15:39:26 UTC 2016

We all know there is a lack of services in Ohio and therefore this survey is important to the blind and visually impaired of Ohio.  Please complete this if you would and share it with others.  We never know what impact it could have, but what we do know is a silent voice is never heard.Carol Akers

Please help us get back some of the services the Vision Center provided. You can fill out the survey by pressing Enter on the link or look below it for the questions and just copy and paste them into a reply, with your answers. We need as many people as possible to respond; otherwise, this can’t happen! If there is no need assessed, those considering spending the time and money on this project will not act.    Reply to me or to Katie Frederick at acbo.director at gmail.com. Share this with anyone else you know who has an interest.          
| Please take five minutes and help collect data to determine the need for vision services in Columbus. Thank you in advance for your time and assistance.
