Hello: On July 14, 2009, Senior Management of the Blind Center of Nevada in Las Vegas went to San Jose, California to attend a two-day event hosted by eBay and PayPal, along with the eBay Green Team and eBay Foundation.

Day One included Senior Management Teams from the Blind Center of Nevada at the eBay Cafe and the PayPal Campus Cafe showing adaptive technology, screen reader computer technology, and talking about the Computer/Electronic Recycling Event the next day. The Blind Center also met with eBay's Task Team on accessibility and showed the Engineers the adaptive technology that is used by visually impaired employees at the Blind Center.

On Day Two, there were two Computer/Electronic Recycling Events held from 8:00 am to 1:00 pm; one being held at the eBay campus and the other at the PayPal campus. The Blind Center collected over 8,000 pounds of electronic waste, which will be kept out of the Nevada landfills.

The Blind Center Management Team also toured the NOC (Network Operation Center) of eBay, and also PayPal. Management also met with the Vice President of Products and Strategies of eBay to share the Blind Center of Nevada's story as a Power Seller employing blind and visually impaired workers selling on eBay. The 2-day event was a great success!

DID YOU KNOW THAT IN SOUTHERN NEVADA NEARLY 28,000 SENIOR CITIZENS ARE VISUALLY IMPAIRED OR LEGALLY BLIND?

2009-07-08T10:34:00.000-07:00

Hello: The Blind Center of Nevada in Las Vegas has provided services to blind and visually impaired people living in southern Nevada since 1955. The Blind Center of Nevada has also provided job training and paid employment to visually disabled persons for more than 50 years.

According to the Helen Keller National Center, 1 out of 4 Americans over the age of 65 will experience significant or total vision loss, while 1 out of 3 will experience some loss of hearing. Of southern Nevada's approximately 160,000 senior citizens, nearly 28,000 are visually impaired or legally blind (Bureau of the Census). This population is expected to more than double by the year 2030, when the last generation of Baby Boomers reaches the age of 65. It is very important that the services offered by the Blind Center of Nevada continue. We cannot serve those in need without your help.

We are in need of donations of computers and electronic-related equipment, food donations and monetary donations.
