BACK TO BUSINESS AS USUAL!

Hello: The Blind Center of Nevada in Las Vegas held its 9th Annual Good Old Fashioned BBQ last night to help support the blind and visually impaired who have lost the precious gift of sight. The evening was a success and we would like to thank our friends and associates, and especially the Lions Club for all of their support. We would like to give a special thanks to all of the many volunteers who helped in so many capacities.

We are resuming business as usual with our computer recycling. We are always in need of electronics to recycle in order to help fund the Blind Center of Nevada and to preserve all of the programs and activities. Please take note to have your computer hard drives erased at the Blind Center of Nevada to protect your valuable personal/business information from being available to anyone. A Certificate is mailed to you after the data-erasure service has been completed.

"No kind action ever stops with itself. One kind action leads to another. Good example is followed. A single act of kindness throws out roots in all directions, and the roots spring up and make new trees. The greatest work that kindness does to others is that it makes them kind themselves." - Amelia Earhart
