ABVI Crafting Vision Oct 28, 2021

When someone is diagnosed with a condition that will result in a loss of sight or blindness, their
responses are not only emotional in nature – anger, frustration, fear, and loss – but also include real
questions about how to maintain an independent life.

Now in our 108th year, the Association for the Blind and Visually Impaired (ABVI) provides vision
rehabilitation services to people of all ages with severe vision loss, teaching them how to remain active
and self–sufficient!
Here is some “in–cider” information…. Crafting Vision 2021 is coming! This year, our event takes place
on Thursday evening, October 28, from 6:00 to 9:00 PM at Vander Mill Tap Room and Restaurant, 505
Ball, NE, Grand Rapids, 49503. This is a casual, interactive experience right on the production room
floor! There will be hearty appetizer fare, drinks including hard and soft ciders, as well as the
opportunity to learn more about ABVI… and some surprises! Sound “a–peel–ing?”

Your support will help an employee learn how to use adaptive equipment to remain active at work…and
the parent cook again for their family when they never thought they would…and the student learn how
to use the white cane to be independent and to utilize public transportation…and so much more!

We will be delighted to welcome you to Crafting Vision 2021. Attached are sponsorship levels and
information about tickets / donations. Simply fill out the form and return it to ABVI by October 18. For
questions, please contact Linda Zizos at 616–458–1187 or lzizos@abvimichigan.org.

Thank you in advance for your consideration and support. Looking forward to seeing you in October.
