Almost 20 million Americans — 8 percent of the U.S. population— have visual impairments. Such impairments, including blindness, are one of the leading causes of loss of independence.
Don’t let poor sight or blindness stop you or a loved one from doing what you enjoy.
Saturday in Clarkesville, North Ga Cane Crusaders and Zeitlin Services will hold a meeting aimed at helping the visually impaired. They’ll share information on how to access programs and services in Northeast Georgia that can help people with poor or no eyesight build independence and confidence.
This first-time event takes place from 9 a.m. to noon on Saturday, December 9. Due to expected rain, organizers moved the meeting from its previously announced location to the Clarkesville Elementary School gymnasium. The school is located at 6539 State Route 115 in Clarkesville.
The meeting is free and open to the public.
