Welcome to Tucson Society of the Blind!

Serving Tucson and Pima County

We welcome all with visual impairment.

TSB provides valuable resources on coping with blindness and vision impairment. It is wonderful to meet other visually impaired seniors who can act as mentors and provide emotional support.

TSB SUMMER CALENDAR

*** NO TSB TUESDAY MEETINGS DURING THE MONTH OF AUGUST ***

HOWEVER! Thursday, August 13, we’ll be getting together at the Biergarten restaurant. The address is 2320 N. Silverbell Road. This is a new German restaurant, and they are getting great reviews about their food! The time will be 11:30 AM to 1:30 PM, so please make a note of that for when you call Sun Van/Dial A Ride. This is on the west side of town; we are looking for events and activities throughout Tucson that we believe will be enjoyable for our group. Please call or text Gina to RSVP. 309-750-4693.

And something more to look forward to – On Friday, September 18, John and Emily will be hosting another pool party at their house. We will be making announcements and confirming details about this when we get back together after our August break. This is just so you can mark it on your calendar for some fun in the sun!

It’s that time of year again, open enrollment for those on Medicare! Scott will be with us to answer our questions. If you should be looking for a new agent, several of us are his clients and we recommend him.

Tuesday, Sep 15 Meta glasses with Michelle and Grayson

We’ve seen the ads with the models using Meta glasses. But do they really work? Michelle and Grayson are a couple who use Meta glasses in real life – work, shopping, caring for kids and so on. Come and learn how they work, and how they might be useful for you!

Friday, Sep 18 Pool Party!

John and Emily will once again be hosting a pool party at their place. Those of us who went earlier this year had a blast! We’ll be swimming, eating and hanging out with each other. More details as we get closer to the date.

Tuesday, Sep 22 Talking Books

We will have a representative from Talking Books come to share with us about all that is going on. Most of us use this wonderful service, and it’s always good to learn the latest information. It will be fun and informative!

Tuesday, September 29 Jonathan Pringle, Helen Keller National Center

Jonathan has visited us before to speak about his organization. The Helen Keller National Center is dedicated to helping visually impaired, blind and hard of hearing individuals live their best lives. Come and learn how HKNC may be of help to you!
