We are a diverse group of people with wide varieties of visual disability including total blindness and legal blindness. We also welcome members who are fully sighted and share concerns about blindness issues. We range in experience of blindness from people who have never seen to those adapting to blindness developing later in life.
We honor the rights of members to choose their preferred means of travel, from use of guide dogs or the white cane to sighted guides. We enjoy having fun when socializing at quarterly meetings, monthly coffee outings and picnics in the summer!
