10:00 am: Knitting


Apr 25

Every week, our knitters gather to share their purls of wisdom and get in the loop on each other’s latest project, and usually end up in stitches spinning yarns. Whether you knit for pleasure, distraction or just practical economics, or you’ve never done it before and want to give it a try, there’s always room for another loom. Learn, refine, or teach a skill that makes your gift-giving budget lighter weight or support a student-led altruistic project like knitting chemo caps, beanies for babies, lap blankets or other creative applications.

Insta-Pitch: Creating Personal and Professional Connections
 
Today more and more individuals and businesses are leveraging multi-media in their marketing and hiring processes in an attempt to connect to others. Vlogs, virtual social groups, video interviews, and digital resumes are just a few examples on the increasing influence and impact of multi-media communication. Now, you can also add these innovative strategies to connect with friends, confidently present your blindness/low vision, develop your professional brand, and reconnect with your hobbies in an authentic way! This Insta-Pitch Milestones Meetup event is designed to be an engaging and valuable interactive opportunity where you can learn tips to developing your confidence, create a personalized video pitch, and connect and share experiences with others near and far.
 
The Milestones Meetup is aimed to bring Lighthouse Blind and Low Vision San Franciscans from Generation Z, Generation X, and Baby Boomers to come together and participate in a series of Meetups that are active, educational and just plain fun. But wait?! You don't live in SF? Come anyway if you are Gen Z, X or Boomer! Share your experiences, discover commonalities, and learn from one another. Not sure what generation you are a part of? Baby Boomers range in age from 55 to 72, Generation X from 42 to 54, and members of Generation Z are 26 and younger.
 
This event will be at the LightHouse Headquarters, 1155 Market Street in San Francisco, on the 10th floor. There is no cost for this event, but RSVPs are strongly recommended so we have enough food and refreshments for all!
