Topic: "Life Hacks." We all have our little alternative techniques or tips
and tricks that make life easier as a blind or visually-impaired person or
as someone who has noticed you a bit older than you used to be. These tips
don't have to be high-tech or cutting edge, and they can be ways to make
tasks easier in the kitchen, in entertaining yourself and others, in
cleaning something, or in getting around your town. We don't want to limit
the concept, so use your experience and your imagination. Let's see if
everyone who calls in can share at least one life hack or cool technique. 

This will be our first meeting via the Zoom platform. I will be sending out
the zoom link and numbers, soon. 

If you have any questions, give me a call or send a text or email.
