This is a wonderful opportunity if you are able to attend.  I 
would say that
Candle is one of my yearly traditions that I hope to keep for 
many years to
come and I am proud to be a member of their Board of Directors.  
We really
have a blast while exploring these issues in a very safe 
environment where
we can get to know new friends, spend time with old friends and 
relax in a
wonderful retreat center where they feed us very well too 
(smile).  Please
read the announcement below.

********************************************

It's that time of year again! It's time to make plans to attend 
the 2010
Candle in the Window conference! This year's conference will be 
held from
Wednesday, August 4, to Sunday, August 8.  We will again hold the 
conference
at Wooded Glen, located in Henryville, Indiana.

Candle in the Window is a conference planned by and for blind and 
visually
impaired people, focusing on a specific topic and exploring 
several aspects
as they relate to living with blindness.

This year's topic is Transition.

Some of the questions we will be exploring are:
* How did we handle transitions while growing up?
* How does blindness affect transitions?
* What transitions are we either experiencing now or  likely to 
experience
in the near future?
* How can we recognize healthy or unhealthy changes and resist 
inappropriate
ones?

In addition to the conference sessions, there will be plenty of 
time to
reflect, to get to know other conference participants and also 
one of the
most important aspects of Candle, to have fun!

The cost of the conference is $485 double occupancy, 465 triple 
occupancy,
and $415 quad occupancy.  The cost includes both room and all 
meals.

When making transportation arrangements, arrange to arrive in 
Louisville,
Kentucky, where transportation will be provided to the conference 
center.

We limit attendance to 20 participants, so it would be advisable 
to make
your reservations early.  A $40 deposit (non refundable) will 
reserve your
spot.  If payment is received before June 15, a $15 discount is 
offered.

Payment by check may be sent to:
Carlos Taylor
818 West Riverside Ave
Apt.  C3
Muncie, IN 47303

We will hopefully have arrangements to pay via PayPal soon.  This 
will be
announced when this option is available.
