    The Business of Blindness Phone Chat: Make Coffee and Call Mike Cole


    Jun 15

    What does it really mean to be blind or low vision? Mike Cole, a veteran of all things blindness, will lead this call-in forum to discuss the many day-to-day ins-and-outs of blindness—from daily living in your home environment to navigating the vast expanse of bureaucracies. There's always a lively crowd sharing their own experiences, so make a cup of coffee (or tea), sit in your favorite chair and call in to chat the business of blindness.

    For more information including dial in details, contact Serena Olsen at solsen@lighthouse-sf.org or 415-694-7316.

    30% & Snowing Goes Virtual: See Ya Later, 2020
    Thursday, December 17, 6-8 PM PST
    Congratulations, the finish line for 2020 is in sight, and while the fallout from this year will undoubtedly follow us for some time to come, at least we can turn the calendar page on the irony of a year jam-packed with vision metaphors and record low levels of actual clarity. We’ll welcome work wins and share our employment intentions for the year ahead. To RSVP and receive Zoom access information, contact Adult Program Manager Serena Olsen at solsen@lighthouse-sf.org or 415-694-7316.

    For Zoom access info, RSVP to Serena Olsen at solsen@lighthouse-sf.org  or 415-694-7316, then grab a bite to eat, your favorite beverage, and join the virtual networking party.

  • Cards Against Humanity (online)

    Cards Against Humanity (online)


    Jun 19

    Join in on sizzling hot fun with a side of ridiculous while we gather for a few hours of Cards Against Humanity (CAH) hosted by Bay Area Blind Mom. On the third Friday of the summer months, from 5:00 p.m. until 7:00 p.m., log onto RS Games for an adults-only card night. Grab your favorite beverage and join friends across the nation on the RS Game platform and a little Zoom convo.

    You must be comfortable with, or willing to learn, both the Zoom and RS Games platform. Prior knowledge of how to play CAH is not necessary. Detailed instructions on how to play CAH on RS Games will be handled just prior to playing the game. For details on how to join the Zoom chat and the actual Cards Against Humanity game, you must be 18 years of age or older and RSVP to Adult Program Coordinator Serena Olsen for the game night password and Zoom access info: solsen@lighthouse-sf.org or 415-694-7316.

    Have burning questions? Here are some answers that might help.
    Q: How do I download RS Games?
    A: To download RS Games, visit http://www.rsgames.org/downloads.php and navigate to the download heading for the software appropriate to your preferred device.

    Q: What type of device is necessary for playing?
    A: Computers work best on the RS Games platform. However, with a little extra effort, smart phones do work.

    Q: How will I know which game to join?
    A: Select Cards Against Humanity from the list of games in the main menu of RS Games. Select join and find the game hosted by Bay Area Blind Mom. The password will be provided with Zoom access info.

    Q: Why is there a Zoom part to the evening’s festivities.
    A: Although RS Games has a voice chat option, it often makes glitches happen in the game. Being able to chat with friends on a separate platform such as Zoom makes for fun and frivolity. Simultaneously using both platforms make for an awesome time with friends.
