Patrice Johnson really enjoyed her job as a truck driver for a local Washington company. Driving gave her the opportunity to see different parts of the country and enjoy the freedom of the open road. She looked forward to the occasional crosscountry drive that would take her to the east coast. She especially loved going there in the fall when the colorful leaves on the trees were most vibrant.

A Special Thanks to the Northwest Lions Foundation for Sight & Hearing for their generous grant to the Edith Bishel Center for the Blind and Visually Impaired

This grant provided funds for all new computers for every office staff member. All of the old computers were very outdated, falling apart and no longer meeting the growth needs of the Center. The new computers have allowed us to be more effective and efficient in our daily use to meet the information and practical needs of our clients.

The Edith Bishel Center is so thankful for the continued partnership with the Northwest Lions Foundation for Sight & Hearing!

A special thanks to all of the sponsors who's contributions made our Beep Baseball event a HUGE success! We could not do what we do without the generous support from our caring community.

A special thanks to Spencer Peterson and Karman Rasul for the IPhone, IPad training this past Saturday. You both are such a huge asset to the individuals who are blind and visually impaired in our community.

If you missed this fantastic training, don't worry, there will be another one in July. Date and time coming soon.

The Low Vision Technology Open House this past weekend was a HUGE HIT! Special thanks to the team from Vision Matters for showing us the latest in low vision technology. If you missed the event, please come by the Center to check out some of the new equipment we have on display.
