Roanna, I hope you will be attending the Greater Daytona Beach Chapter
meetings while you are in Daytona participating in training at the Rehab
Center. We meet on the forth Saturday of the month from 1:00 to 3:00 P.M. at
Houligan's restaurant. Call me on my home phone if you need more
information. 386-677-6886. 

Praying that everything goes well for you during your training and do keep
us posted!

Kathy Davis

>>> Dear Members,

>>> Today my parents and I had the opportunity to tour the Rehabilitation
Center For The Blind and Visually Impaired in Daytona Beach, Florida. When
my Mom and I spent a weekend there sixteen years ago, we were not impressed.
The facilities were not clean or safe. We had to share a bathroom with
someone else.
>>> 
>>> This morning my parents and I left home at 7-30 Am and arrived just
before our scheduled 9-00 Am tour. Edward Hudson who is the Bureau Chief was
our tour guide. We were very impressed with what we saw today. The entire
facility has been rebuilt from the ground up. The dormitory has thirty
individual suites like a hotel. Each student stays in their own individual
suite while they are on campus. Each room is equipped with its own desktop
computer with programs that students use in class during the day. Meals are
served three times a day in the cafeteria. In Home Management, students are
taught to use the stove and prepare a meal. All of the staff members took
time to answer any questions that we had. There is twenty-four hour security
on campus. A security guard is on duty at all times in the dormitory.
>>> 
>>> I will be doing the Independent Living Skills program at the Rehab
Center. I will be learning cooking, cleaning, doing my own laundry, learning
the new Ueb braille code, labeling my own clothing, and learning to wash and
dry my clothes. There is a possibility that I will be gaining work
experience at the Braille And Talking Book Library. The Rehab Center is an
hour away from my home.
