                                      Serving People Affected By Vision Loss

Dear Friends,

Bluegrass Council of the Blind (BCB) is excited to announce the date of
our first ever Wise Eyes Trivia Night, which will be held on Wednesday,
January 22, 2020 at Comedy Off Broadway, located at 161 Lexington
Green Circle, #C4. The evening begins with a Networking Hour from
5:30 p.m. to 7 p.m., which includes one free glass of wine and heavy hors                                  BCB
d’oeuvres, as well as a full cash bar throughout the evening. Trivia begins
promptly at 7 p.m. with awards presented upon conclusion. Join BCB,                                   Wise Eyes
along with other stakeholders in our community who serve people with
blindness or low vision for a social event planned for fun and enrichment.                           Trivia Night
We invite you and your colleagues to create teams of two to six people
each and stir up some friendly competition for a great cause! We hope you
will consider this for a company activity or a team-building opportunity to
bring your co-workers and employees closer together while engaging in
community philanthropy and a bit of “healthy competition.”

You might not think of trivia as a team building activity, but it offers all the needed elements of a great team-
building exercise: getting to know your colleagues, sharing knowledge, working as a team, a social element,
plus one other important benefit - everyone can play. BCB’s Wise Eyes Trivia Night does even more! It gives
you an opportunity to network with others in the industry and to learn more about the Bluegrass Council of
the Blind, Inc. and how we can partner together to serve our communities.

So, here’s your chance to do something great and have a good time! Host a team and sponsor an event that
brings people together to support BCB, an organization like no other in this area, who empowers persons
affected by vision loss by providing information, education, referrals, training, and peer support to promote
inclusion and independence for persons with vision impairments. Teams can have up to six (6) players each
for a cost of $40 per person or $200 per table (of 6).

Early-Bird Registration: $35 per person or $175 per table of 6 if you register by December 20!
