Despite having talking calculators, computers, and smartphones, some of us like to go back to the basics. Listeners joined Lucy to learn about using the abacus.

Listeners joined us for different topics each week, complete with clear audio demonstrations as appropriate. Questions were answered for the remainder of the hour and did not have to relate to the week’s discussion.

# We will be discussing chapters 20-22 in the book, The Unseen Minority: A Social History of Blindness in the United States, by Frances A. Koestler, copyright 1976 and 2004 by the American Foundation for the Blind. The 1976 edition is available in BARD, and the 2004 edition is available on Bookshare. Come join us and be a part of our lively discussion.

The spotlight is on two more amazing Visually Impaired Seniors with Abilities that will encourage anyone. Vision loss; successful careers; raising a family; and now actively participating in ACB committees and events. They have done it all! Life has not always been a bowl of cherries, but they have persevered. These women may be retired now, but that just gives them more time to give back.
