Starting in February 2022 the club will continue our exploration of the Harry Potter world by reading and watching the Fantastic Beasts series. The first two movies of this series will be hosted via zoom, however it is our hope that it will be safe to gather in person for the release of the third move is this series as it comes out in April. March 12 - Fantastic Beasts: The Crimes of Grindelwald Who: Blind and low vision youth from all over. Families should be aware the Harry Potter Books are for youth that are at least in 5th or 6th grade, however a couple of the Harry Potter movies are rated PG-13 and may not be appropriate for all. LightHouse for the Blind and Visually Impaired does not support discriminatory or hateful speech in any form.

In order to encourage youth to further their excitement around this craft, the LightHouse Youth Program will be hosting a monthly virtual wood polishing club. In addition to making space for EHC and LightHouse friends to connect while polishing wood into art, we will invite a woodworker who is blind or has low vision to join us and share their story and share wisdom with the next generation of artiest. Students that sign up for the program will receive the basic materials and equipment to get started with wood polishing. Those students that remain active in the program and improve their skill will become eligible for additional raw materials that they can turn into art or gifts for loved ones. The polishing party takes place on the second Saturday of the month at 7:00pm. Each gathering will have time dedicated to update others about their projects, learn a little about that month’s mentor, and most importantly have as much time as the evening will allow to hangout and polish with your blind and low vision friends. Who: Teens and young adult students who are blind or low vision What: Virtual gathering space for young wood workers to connect with their EHC friends and other blind and low vision woodworkers from all over When: Second Saturday of the month at 7:00pm Where: Anywhere you can access a zoom meeting Students who sign up for the program at least one week in advance will receive the basic materials and equipment to get started with wood polishing.
