KINDNESS, WISDOM, & UNDERSTANDING!

Hello:  Today is a good day to reflect upon the kindness and understanding given to the members of the Blind Center of Nevada in Las Vegas.  Each day is a challenge for the blind and visually impaired.  The Blind Center of NV is there to help with the challenges by giving independent living skills training, Braille instruction, computer classes, educational programs, job training, and much more.

A nutritious lunch is served each day, and for some members, that may be the only meal of the day.  On special occasions, such as certain Holidays, dinner and entertainment is also provided.

We must remember that being blind or visually impaired means that a little extra help may be needed to go shopping, read a bill or letter, help in choosing an outfit for the day, preparing a meal, or going out.  If we all can help someone in any facet of life, then these acts of kindness will never go unanswered.

For more information on member services and programs, please call the Blind Center of Nevada at (702) 642-6000.  The Blind Center of NV is located at 1001 N. Bruce Street, Las Vegas, NV 89101.  The fax number is (702) 649-6739.  Please visit our website listed below.
