The following comes from my friend Tina. Tina has been a big help with HPS fundraisers in the past. Now she's working at the Kansas State School for the Blind. Although this call for careers says local, she's really interested in developing a database of blind/legally blind adults with a very wide variety of careers. So, you don't have to be in Kansas to help her out. Just return the following info to her at the e-mail address listed below. Thanks for the help.
Dear Colleagues and Friends:
I am working on a project for the vocational program at the Kansas State School for the Blind, and I need some help. I’m attempting to gather the names of as many people who are blind or have low vision who are employed. In their vocational classes, students are asked to conduct phone interviews with people with visual impairments whose type of employment is of interest to them. If you would be interested in participating in such activities, if you know someone who would be interested, or if you would like further information, I would love to hear from you. Please complete the little form below and email it back to me, or just call or email me to provide the information that way. I can be reached by email at tjinkens@kssb.net or by phone at 913-281-3308 ext. 364. Your help in spreading the word about this project is also much appreciated.
I look forward to hearing from you!
Sincerely,
Tina Jinkens
