Trivia Night This Friday!!



The wonderful women of the Indianapolis Alumnae of Delta Gamma are hosting Trivia Night on Friday, February 3rd and VIPS will be the beneficiary of the event! If you are interested in purchasing a table or if you are a single and would like to play, please purchase your table or seat soon as we are expecting this to be a sell out event! Table of 8 is $150 and a single is $20. There will also be mulligans for purchase and a silent auction. All proceeds from the event will go to VIPS and the babies and toddlers with blindness we serve. Thank you Indianapolis DGs for putting on this incredible event!

reVISION Scheduled for March & April at the ICC Gallery!!

VIPS Indiana is bringing back reVISION, a tactile and interactive art exhibition, to the Indiana Interchurch Center Art Gallery in March and April 2017.  This year's exhibit will feature regional artists submitting various mediums of art with the one catch--it must be able to be touched!  While the exhibit was created for the visually impaired art patron, we encourage sighted patrons to use the sleep shades or visual impairment simulator goggles while visiting.  The goal is to make the art accessible, change perspectives about how we "view" art, and to create a dialogue.  VIPS Indiana will receive a portion of the proceeds from the art sold.  Come and join us for the opening night which will be held on Thursday, March 9th from 6-8 pm at the Indiana Interchurch Center located at 1100 West 42nd Street, Indianapolis, IN 46208.  Contact Meredith Howell at mhowell@vips.org or (317) 902-0931 for more details.

Telling Your Child's Story



Learning about your child is hard enough but telling THEIR story sometimes is even harder to share. Join VIPS as we have the pleasure of introducing you to Jack Levine, founder of 4Generations Institute, who is a communications and public policy consultant. He will help us learn how to "Tell our Children's Story" so the people that we have in our child's life are as excited about our child as we are! 

Free dinner and child care will be provided during the event.  A drawing will be held for everyone who attends for a one year family membership to the Louisville Zoo and other great prizes!

Please RSVP by Feb. 6 to guarantee your seat at this event.
