World Sight Day 2013

 

Thank you to Susan Axelrod for connecting me to such a great organization: Combat Blindness International  I was so grateful to support them by donating a necklace from my India Collection to their silent auction last Thursday in Madison. The event was eye opening and inspirational! The guest speaker, Mike May, was amazing! I left the night with Mike’s encouraging words “There is always a way!” I look forward to participating with CBI in the future!

HERE IS THE INFO ABOUT THE DAY:

DATE: Thursday, October 10, 2013

LOCATION: Wisconsin institute for Discovery Town Center, Madison, WI (330 N. Orchard, Madison, WI 53715)

We are looking forward to WSD 2013 on October 10, 2013. Please join us for sensational international cuisine (ask last year’s guests), silent auction of beautiful items < I donated a necklace and earring set from the India Collection – I am so grateful to be part of this wonderful program! >, fellowship, and an inspiring message from our keynote speaker, Mike May. Mike was blinded at age three from a chemical explosion. In 2000, he regained partial vision after a procedure using stem cells. He holds the record for downhill skiing by a person who was blind (65-mph!) and he holds three bronze medals from the 1984 Winter Paralympics. Come share with us in a delightful evening to benefit CBI and those we serve.
