Thanks for telling us here all about this. I believe this will go a long way
towards getting the word out, and I certainly hope it’s also a fund raiser at
the same time for you guys.
Good luck,
Chip

Hi Everyone,
The store is located inside Lighthouse of the Big Bend and offers products such
as magnifiers, kitchen aids, daily living aids, and entertainment items such as
large print crossword books and playing cards.. We do not have a website yet.
The idea for a separate store with its own name grew from interactions many of
us have had in the community. There are many people (like my dad and other
family members) who are not ready to admit their vision is as bad as it
actually is. They are not ready to admit they need help. The store offers them
a way to get some of the items to help make their daily lives a little easier
but also serves as a bridge to the other services we offer at Lighthouse. Since
the article hit the Democrat yesterday, we have had two walk-in customers who
fit this demographic. We were able to give them information on our programs to
take with them when they left. I think it will be easier for some people to
hear “hey you should go visit this store and check out their products” than “I
think you need services from Lighthouse of the Big Bend.”
I hope you will stop by and check out what we have and offer your suggestions
on products we should carry or on how we can get the word out there.
Thanks,
Kim Galban-Countryman

I agree with Matt, could we please have some more information about the new
20/20 store?
Thanks,
