First I want to warn you before you watch this that you might find parts disturbing. I do feel there is value in this video in how he discusses coming to terms with his blindness.

We have canceled the event for this weekend due to transportation issues a few of the members were having. We will be meeting at the Braums at 4335 NW 23rd at noon on Sep. 24th. This will be Randy and Angela's last before their move to Georgia. Come out and wish them safe travels.

Hey people. Hope you are enjoying the cooler weather. We are still here and going. I'm not the best at doing social media. Creating our next event announcement today. Also we finally have a transportation method available again.

Thanks to everyone who showed up yesterday for our lunch and movie date. I did get a complaint that people were not notified in plenty of time. We knew we were doing the movies but were trying to accommodate a request to use a different theater. In the end we decided to stay in Bricktown. Let me just say that a lot goes into planning these outings. Covid and the loss of transportation has made things even more difficult. If you do have a complaint or concern please bring it to us directly so we can address it. Also please bring only your concern. Let other people speak for themselves. That being said next month is the fireworks in Yukon. This is only on Sunday July 3 or Monday July 4th and is a night time event. I am thinking Monday the 4th is the best night. Please comment below on which night you prefer.

Everyone needs to message Netflix they just updated There Fire TV app Voice view accessibility no longer works anywhere in the app it is now totally unacceptable to the Blind community this shows a total lack of consideration for the disabled community because apparently absolutely no accessibility testing was done because it works nowhere in the app from screen one to the most remote screen

As many of you may already know our driver is now without a van. This is limiting our group to local events only. He has created a Go Fund Me page to try to raise the funds to replace the van. I will share the link here. Please feel free to share it.

For those of you who aren't aware of it the folks at Script Talk now have an app for both Android and I phone called ScriptView. This is a free app and you can sign up at your pharmacy to have the special labels put on your medicine bottles. The one thing is your phone has to be NFC capable. If you use Google pay or Apple wallet you are set to go. There are a couple of us willing to help show you how it works if you need help.

Here's a question for those, like myself, that spend holidays at their family's house. How do you adjust to being in a unfamiliar place with unfamiliar surroundings? While I am used to my sister's house her grandchdren do move stuff around and there are her family's pets. Usually I get a warning to watch for something. There was the time I fell off the back steps thinking I was already at the bottom.
