February 2023

Happy New Year, friends:

The Linn County blindness support group will have its next meeting on Wednesday, 22 February 2023, from 10:00 a.m. to about noon, in the narthex (gathering area outside the church sanctuary) at First Lutheran Church, 1000 3^rd Av SE in Cedar Rapids. Best place to enter the building is on the back side under the carport. Enter the doors there and climb the stairs (or use elevator) to reach our meeting place.

We are privileged to have a special guest, Dr. Elizabeth Gauger, an ophthalmologist at Iowa Eye Care. She volunteered her time to meet us 3 years ago and it was one of the best sessions our group has had.  She left lots of time for us to ask our own questions. This should take up our whole time.

If you have any questions, please call Jonathan Ice at 319-298-2919 or [email protected]. I hope you can join the group on 22 February.

Jonathan

Agenda for February meeting:
