Volunteers for the Visually Impaired　(VVI)

VVI General Meeting

Date:    Thursday, May 8
Place:   Veronica Emery’s Home
Time:     10 am - noon              

The first half of 2008 has been a very productive and enjoyable one for VVI. CWAJ members and VI friends together enjoyed experiencing other cultures at the Italian Concert in January and at the April English Conversation Gathering about Jordan. At the outing to EYEMATE guide dog center in March, 25 CWAJ members and guests learned about the many steps involved in training these marvelous dogs and got to experience firsthand being guided blindfolded. We were proud to attend the graduation in March of Japan Vocational Development Center for the Blind students. In April, a new school year has begun. Volunteers are always needed as assistants to the regular volunteer teachers. Classes are held every Thursday from 1-3 pm.

 Join us for a VVI General Meeting over delicious coffee and pastries at Veronica Emery’s home. All CWAJ members welcome! We’ll review current programs and plan upcoming activities. Contact one of the coordinators if you plan on attending and map to Veronica’s will be provided at that time.
