Washington Council For The Blind Convention

It was an incredible experience for me. I was told there is a saying among the blind, "Sight is overrated." There were no truer words spoken. There was an amazing flow and energy. Such a tight community also. Most folks knew each other and or heard of each other. I was no execption. The word was spread about Uneek Treats.

There are so many supportive groups for the blind like South King Council for the Blind












United Blind of Spokane












United Blind of Whatcomb County












Seattle Lighthouse, The Lighthouse For The Blind












Next Level Assistive Technology












En Vision America












Community Services for the Blind and Partially Sited













Camp Harobed

















Capitol City Council of the Blind












Assistive Technology Loans












Lilly with Mom Pam, creators of Blinksoft













Here are all the wonderful folks who were at the convention to learn about and be able to take advantage of the services available to enhance their lives.

Look how well they do in crowds just waiting for their next direction
















How alert and protective they are... and how happy Mom is
















They come in all types of breeds like this rescue from Texas!
















A poodle who loves Mom and is a great guide dog












Even at 9 years old, the energy of 3 dogs
















Ever so patient and just as sweet












Guide Dogs for the Blind Yakima Chapter (Labs are the most common)











German Shepards do well and ever alert waiting for the next command
















They may not be able to be pet by people but they sneek in greeting to each other when no one is looking











Even if they look alike they are so very different
















Just look at that face!












It is amazing how much independence guide dogs provide
















They don't just work, they love too












There is always options to help in so many different ways. It was great to see how dogs can give life and freedom and unconditional joy and get it all in return. It sure wa hard to not pet them and say hello with a hug, so I asked them to do it for me when they were off duty.
