BUSINESS AS USUAL!

Hello: Today is the second to last business day before Christmas and it is also the second to last shopping day before Christmas! Everyone at the Blind Center of Nevada in Las Vegas is starting to wrap up their short week and get ready for the Holidays.

It is always business as usual at the Blind Center as so many blind and visually impaired members depend on the Center for their everyday well-being.

After Wednesday, the members will be spending time with their families and friends for the long weekend.

EMPLOYEE COMPUTER RECYCLING EVENT!

Hello: The Blind Center of Nevada in Las Vegas would like to invite companies to participate in an "Employee Computer Recycling Event" to be held on their properties in the coming New Year!

This means that the company would choose a date and time for employees to donate any old or unwanted computer or electronic equipment. These donations are tax-deductible as the Blind Center is a non-profit (501C3). One hundred percent (100%) of the profit generates free services and employment for the blind and visually impaired at the Blind Center. All donations are kept out of the landfills in Nevada.

The business of Computer Recycling is one of the ways that the Blind Center of Nevada is able to assist blind and visually impaired people in the community.

"One of the most beautiful gifts in the world is the gift of encouragement. When someone encourages you, that person helps you over a threshold you might otherwise never have crossed on your own." - John O'Donohue

KINDNESS AND WISDOM!

Hello: Today is a good day to reflect upon the kindness and understanding given to the members of the Blind Center of Nevada in Las Vegas. Each day is a challenge for the blind and visually impaired. The Blind Center is there to help with the challenges by giving independent living skills training, Braille instruction, computer classes, educational programs, job training, and more.

A nutritious lunch is served each day, and for some members, that may be the only meal of the day. On special occasions, such as certain Holidays, dinner and entertainment is also provided.

We must remember that being blind or visually impaired means that a little extra help may be needed to go shopping, read a bill or letter, help in choosing an outfit for the day, preparing a meal, or going out. If we all can help someone in any facet of life, then these acts of kindness will never go unanswered.

Remember, "Kindness is more important than wisdom, and the recognition of this is the beginning of wisdom" - Theodore Isaac Rubin

"Theater in the House," the Blind Center acting group, did a Christmas "skit," which was enjoyed by all.

Santa was there to give members some holiday cheer and a gift upon leaving the Blind Center.

A special thank you to the Board Members of the Blind Center of Nevada and the Monte Cristo Ward, and to all of the volunteers who made the night spectacular!

JOY OF ACHIEVEMENT!

Hello: Today is another beautiful, sunny and productive day at the Blind Center of Nevada in Las Vegas. First, we need to say HAPPY BIRTHDAY to Ben, our Computer Recycling Scheduler!

Each day visually impaired men and women come to the Blind Center of NV to enjoy a warm and welcoming environment and, for many, the work opportunities and social activities have become a way of life. The Blind Center strives to create a positive social setting and support system outside the home for our members.

Computer/electronics recycling is only one of the meaningful employment opportunities at the Blind Center. We need to mention how important recycling is because we need to keep the landfills in Nevada free of E-waste. We also need to keep our employment opportunities moving forward, so more can benefit.

"What a man really wants is creative challenge with sufficient skills to bring him within the reach of success so that he may have the expanding joy of achievement." -- Fay B. Nash

Remember, the more E-waste we recycle, the more we all benefit, from employment opportunities and the joy of achievement, to keeping the Nevada landfills free of harmful waste.

HOLIDAY SEASON GIVING!

Hello: When we think of the Holiday Season, we think of giving to others, especially the less fortunate. In this time of economic disaster, there is a bit of sunshine out there for everyone who gives and who receives. Giving to others doesn't necessarily mean something that costs money, but you can give love, trust, hope, joy, a smile, a moment of your time to listen, a cheerful thought and just being there for someone.

The Blind Center of Nevada gives all of the above, and much more, to the members who are blind and visually impaired. Let us all thank the Blind Center by supporting their programs and their mission through the purchase of a Gourmet Holiday Gift Basket. These Gift Baskets are filled with specialty items and can even be customized to your specifications! Please call (702) 642-6000 or visit our website, listed below.

As said best by Winston Churchill, "We make a living by what we get, but we make a life by what we give."

WORKING TOGETHER TO KEEP MISSION GOALS STRONG!

Hello: We are coming to the end of a very busy and productive month at the Blind Center of Nevada in Las Vegas.

Even though this is a short work month, everyone from the recycling side to the social side of the Blind Center have come together to keep the mission goals strong for the future.

Helen Keller said, "I long to accomplish a great and noble tasks, but it is my chief duty to accomplish humble tasks as though they were great and noble. The world is moved along, not only by the mighty shoves of its heroes, but also by the aggregate of the tiny pushes of each honest worker."

So remember, every person who takes a tiny step will help lead us to a giant step forward, if we all work together.
