Color Coding the Calendar

I gave a presentation about low vision at a Council of Aging and a woman with macular degeneration showed me how she color coded her large print calendar. Yellow stickers are on days when she has medical appointments.
I thought this was very clever!

Hamilton Wenham Aging Info Expo

Lots of networking and information sharing at the Hamilton Wenham Aging Info Expo where I had a booth with information on my low vision business and ADL adaptive equipment for seniors.Visitors loved my trash bag knitting demo and wanted to see how my needle threading gadget worked.  I guess I should have bought some to resell because so many people were disappointed I wasn't selling anything. I did give out the 10 page informational packet I put together on lighting needs of the elderly and those with low vision.
