Greetings all!
Hope everyone had their fill of turkey and completed their Christmas shopping from the comfort of the easy chair--I did! We have exciting news about our OIB project. I am delighted to announce a new partnership with the Arkansas advocacy groups supporting blindness and vision loss.
Mrs. Terry Sheeler is the State President for the National Federation of the Blind (NFB) and Ms. Sandy Edwards is the State President for the American Council of the Blind (ACB). Both are phenomenal organizations which support advocacy efforts at the state and national level.These women have agreed to assist clients in our program by connecting folks to necessary resources. If you have a technical question, need to know where to buy bump dots, or just need a ear for venting, please reach out to these organizations. These folks are volunteering their time and knowledge!
Our goal is to identify ALL clients who are eligible for our program. As everyone knows, there are not enough hours in the day or dollars in program to meet the needs. Let's all band together and work toward a common goal. I am happy to have the assistance of these two great organizations and encourage you to support them in their advocacy efforts.
Contact information is;
Sandy Edward (ACB) phone: 501-753-5029
Terry Sheeler (NFB) phone: 479-582-0091 or 479-841-6081
As always, please feel free to contact WSB staff, Barbara, Cindy or I for assistance. Thanks again to Bob and Johnye for their help with this blog. Without them, I would never sleep!
Until tomorrow,
Dr. Janet
