GOALS OF THE SAN ANTONIO LOW VISION CLUB

The San Antonio Low Vision Club is a program of the Low Vision Resource Center, a non-profit 501(c)(3) organization assisting visually impaired people with education, mobility assistance, support groups, and socialization. The Low Vision Club promotes independence for people with limited or no vision.  In addition to providing members with access to valuable information, the club provides the visually impaired an opportunity to talk with others who share their challenges.

The club's monthly meetings include presentations designed to keep members informed about the latest medical research into eye diseases and how local resources can assist them.  They also offer a professionally-led forum for discussing members' problems and concerns.  Several times a year, the club organizes social gatherings for its members.  It also produces a quarterly newsletter in print and cassette form and has published a directory of local resources for the visually impaired.

OUR NEXT MEETING

Saturday, August 2, 2008

Time for a little fun.  We’re going to meet in the Warm Springs Resource Center, 5101 Medical Drive (between Wurzbach Parkway and Babcock) for a bingo party and lunch planned by our Special Events Chairperson Dana Schilling.  Time will be from 11 a.m. to 3:00 p.m. if needed.

For this event we need to limit participation to the first 60 LVC members who register in advance to play bingo using large number playing cards.  If you didn’t sign up at the July 19th LVC meeting, call Cindy Garcia on her cell phone at (210)287-9039 to see if space is still available.  If you plan to bring someone to help you play, you must also register him or her in advance so we will know how many will be eating lunch.
