The Summer is Upon us

Hello Everyone,
So the summer is fast approaching and the center is getting ready for the change. As with the change of climate (we are all thankful for that especially those of us not used to the snow), there are many exciting things happening at the center and the apartments. Thus upcoming week we will be welcoming our college students to the Center Life! Stephanie, Rachna, and Maida will be joining us starting this week. We are extremely excited to have them form part of the group, yes we are an awesome group, and inject us with some of their young energy! As soon as they get here we will get things going with a fishing trip. Stephanie's dad will guide us all in the techniques of .... well I don't know much about fishing, but I am sure I will learn it on Tuesday. The rest of the clients will be attending a vocational training program on Tuesday and Wednesday. They are going to learn job skills and look sharp.
Our director and godmother, Fatos will be traveling to Turkey as she teaches blindness skills with the organization Blind Corps (www.blindcorps.org). We wish her the best on her travels and we can't wait to hear the stories.
Most of the clients are attending the National Federation of the Blind National Convention in Dallas, Texas. Some of our staff members will be there as well providing support guidance, and harassing the students in case they want to stay in bed and not attend sessions!
That's all for now! Enjoy the beginning of the summer :)
