National Volunteer Month
Volunteers are essential and treasured at Blind Children's Learning Center. They touch every aspect of our Center: board leadership, fundraising, marketing and all of our programs. Our volunteers are individuals from companies, community service groups, students and families all with the common goal - to give all children with visual impairments the opportunity to succeed in a sighted world. In recent months Alcoa Fastening Systems, Alcon, Assisteens, AT&T Pioneers, Cal State Fullerton, Chapman University, Credit Suisse, Fairview Foster Grandparents, Foothill High School, Junior League of Orange County, National Charity League, and UCI gave of their most valuable asset - their time - to volunteer at our Center.  | | Irish Dancers volunteered to perform at the children's Music Time. |
 Executive Director Kathy Buehler recognized Wayne Heidle for his volunteer work creating the Southern California College of Optometry Adaptive Technology and Training Center at Blind Children's Learning Center.

Can you tell? Our children love our volunteers!
