The next monthly meeting of the Visually Impaired Persons group will be held on Tuesday, Oct. 7 at 1:15 p.m. in the Community Center/Boothbay Region Health Care Center located in the Meadow Mall in Boothbay Harbor.

The guest speaker at this meeting will be Susannah Crolius, director of Belonging and Artist-In-Residence at the Inn Along The Way. She will give an update on the transition of the old Chapman Farm in Damariscotta to a collaborative community for supporting caregivers and older adults. The Inn Along The Way, as part of its community-building mission, offers ongoing weekly, monthly, and seasonal activities in the farmhouse and in the newly renovated dairy barn.  There are writing workshops, knitting circles, singing circles, luncheons, art classes, and more.

Anyone experiencing vision challenges is welcome to attend the V.I.P. meetings, including drivers and caregivers.  For more information, call Joan Stark at (207) 633-2498. Need a ride? Call Kitty Hartford at (207)633-6355.
