Please mark your calendars for the 2025 WyCB hybrid annual convention! This year’s theme will be “Strong Voices, Bright Futures.” The convention will be held Saturday September 27, 2025, and may be attended either in person at Pineview Elementary School located at 539 S. Payne in Casper or online via Zoom.

Six great speakers will address us at this year’s convention. Karen Strawder from Washington state will be our keynote speaker. She has worked in the blindness field for several years in a variety of positions. She has a wealth of experience to share as a blind professional.

Cindy Hollis of the American Council of the Blind will speak about ACB Community, a new resource ACB is offering. Leslie Van Orman, Program Manager for Vision Outreach Services, will provide us with an update on the services offered by VOS. Aubrey Helton, a visually impaired resident of Sheridan will favor us with some tips on cooking and working in the kitchen.

Jim Hoxie and Joanna Jones, of Spearfish, South Dakota, are co-authors of a children’s book, “Grandpa’s White Cane.” They will give an informative presentation about Jim’s introduction to the white cane and his experiences since becoming visually impaired thirteen years ago. They will discuss the benefits of presenting to young students and exposing them to their book and the white cane. The convention will conclude with our annual business meeting and election of officers.
