I am writing to you this afternoon to announce an advanced and accelerated implementation of what we have all feared was coming – a major disruption of LightHouse operations and services. Governmental guidance, epidemiologic evidence, and your own concerns have all registered with our leadership team.
Therefore, we have decided on the following course of action to protect the health and safety of all of our employees and those we serve.
All face-to-face services to all students and community members will cease today, Friday, March 13 2020, at close of business. Face-to-face services will not resume until at least April 6. This includes individual teaching and any events or groups.
Blindness products and technology can still be ordered from the Adaptations Store online: www.adaptations.org.
We urge you all to follow official advice and to remain safe and well.
We will be working hard during this time to welcome all our students and friends again, when we re-open on or after April 6. Please be sure to call us on April 6 at 415-431-1481 to confirm we are open.
Stay well.
Bryan Bashin
CEO
LightHouse for the Blind and Visually Impaired
