Our students had a wonderful time last weekend celebrating "Friendsgiving." They put on a feast, and it was so much fun for them to get together and socialize with their friends! We also had North and South Puppy Raiser onsite to showcase their dogs and discuss their services. We have much to be thankful for! #lighthouse #blindandlowvisionservices #nonprofit
