Autumn is in full swing, and a chill is in the air. It is the season for curling up on the couch with a good book. Let’s help one another create a list of great reads to keep us occupied over the winter months.

Join BPI for our first Book Sharing evening. Each participant will get
5 minutes to talk about one book they recently enjoyed and think other BPI members won’t be able to resist.

Nonfiction, fiction, autobiographies, memoirs. Anything goes. The only thing we ask is that the book selection you choose be available via Bard or Audible to make access as easy as possible for all members.

Please join us on November 8 at 4 PM PST, 7 PM EST for a Sunday evening of book sharing.

To join the discussion, phone our BPI conference line.

Emmy Award winning producer, Patricia Zagarella, seeks participants for a new documentary that focuses on the dating and romantic life of the blind and visually impaired. As dating moves to the online world, where physical attraction is the first connection, we want to explore how love connections are formed when physical attraction is not the first point of reference. We think that sighted people can learn a lot from the dating and romantic experiences of the visually impaired. This will be a heartwarming film and journey. By sharing your experiences we hope to shed light on this universal subject and on a population so often ignored.

 

We are seeking blind or visually impaired, men and women between the ages of 20 and 45, who are willing to be on camera and share their experiences candidly. We are looking for a cross section of individuals, including:

 

 

 

1) Singles, men and women, who are actively dating and looking for a long-term relationship

 

2) Best friends who are single and dating

 

3) Singles bouncing back from a breakup

 

4) People that are newly coupled

 

5) Couples in a long term relationship

 

6) Couples who are going to get married

 

7) Married couple with no children

 

8) Married couple with child or children
