Annual Luncheon

Celebrating 58 Years of Service to the Community!

2023 marks 58 Years of Service to our community. In fact, in it’s very early days, this organization made it possible for Executive Director Cheryl Orgas to be one of the first students to receive braille at the same time as her sighted peers. Today she leads our efforts to ensure that children and adults can participate fully in school, work and recreation by having the audio, braille or tactiles needed for equal access in the world.
