In partnership with the Arts and Lectures Series at the Jewish Community Center of San Francisco, LightHouse for the Blind’s Community Services Program is able to offer free tickets to the following exciting events: The Great Broadway Sing-Along, Bettye LeVette and Cowgirl Creamery: A Conversation and Cheese Tasting.
Tickets will be distributed on a first come first serve basis to blind and low vision LightHouse clients only. Due to the high demand and limited available seating, each interested person can choose just one event to attend for free. We will meet at the LightHouse and take public transportation to the Jewish Community Center.

Bettye Lavette
When: Thursday, February 13 at 6:30 p.m.
Where: Meet at the LightHouse
With a voice as powerful as Etta James’ and a story as compelling as Tina Turner’s, Grammy-nominee Bettye LaVette is finally gaining the superstar status that has eluded her since the 1960s. The New York Times proclaimed that LaVette “now rivals Aretha Franklin as her generation’s most vital soul singer,” and her velvet-rich voice and gospel-based blues have earned the admiration of everyone from Paul McCartney, to Bonnie Raitt and Elvis Costello. “When you hear a voice like Bettye LaVette’s, there’s a sense of transportation…a certain freedom of movement and emotion, which is rare…Put me in the fan club! How did Bettye LaVette slip through the net for so long?” – Keith Richards
We will meet at the LightHouse (214 Van Ness Ave, SF) at 6:30 p.m. and depart by 7:00 p.m. SHARP. The event starts at 8:00 p.m..
Cowgirl Creamery: A Conversation and Cheese Tasting
When: Tuesday, February 25 at 5:30 p.m.
Where: Meet at the LightHouse
A post-college hippie trip to San Francisco in 1976 led Sue Conley and Peggy Smith to establish careers in some of the Bay Area’s most famous kitchens, and eventually to found Cowgirl Creamery in Pt. Reyes Station. Their new book, Cowgirl Creamery Cooks, is a primer on tasting, buying, storing, pairing and appreciating cheese and includes a sumptuous collection of cheese-based recipes.
