This is a time for socializing, and sharing our experiences with blindness, in order to help others develop independence and self-confidence. On Thursdays, we emphasize education, travel, technology, history, entertainment, and innovative role-models, etc.. These sessions will feature presenters on such topics as: Lewis and Clark expedition, Mt. Rushmore, railroad history and the mob museum in Las Vegas, Nevada.We encourage suggestions for topics or locations from our participants. All sessions last for one (1) hour and start on time. The call in number is: 605-475-5620, and the access code is: 3789127#.
