Nebraska Center for the Blind Celebrating Fifty Years Honoring the Past, Shaping the Future

by Amy Buresh

From the Editor: The program in Nebraska has long been a recognized leader in rehabilitation for the blind, its roots extending back into the 70s. It is with pleasure that we run this piece in honor of its programs and in honor of the Federation spirit of its author and so many of the staff who have worked and now work there.

The Nebraska Center for the Blind, a cherished program of the Nebraska Commission for the Blind and Visually Impaired, is joyfully celebrating its fiftieth anniversary! Please join us in commemorating this milestone on Tuesday, October 15, 2024.

The celebration will take place at our NCBVI main office: 4600 Valley Road, Lincoln, NE 68510. The festivities begin at 10:00 a.m.

In honor of this special occasion, we invite you to share your heartfelt memories or congratulatory messages with us.

You can send your voice recordings or written messages to [email protected] or leave a voicemail by calling 402-413-1636. Your stories and well-wishes will add a personal touch to our celebration and help us reflect on the incredible journey we’ve shared.
