Giving Tuesday is right around the corner on December 2nd. Why do the dates change? It’s because Thanksgiving’s date changes within the last week of November. Giving Tuesday is observed on the Tuesday immediately following Thanksgiving. We hope you’ll consider supporting our mission to empower independence for the blind and visually impaired.

Some of our staff captured fall in Crystal Lake on their way to work today. Stunning red and golden leaves now fill the trees. Just wish we had a steamy mug of spiced cider that we could wrap our hands around.
