| DINING WITH DIGNITY,INC - This organization was founded in 2002 and is based in Williamsburg, VA. Under development for two years, the flatware is the realization of a dream for the company founder and former chef, Bob Bayton. This grasp impaired flatware design was developed out of his personal need after the automobile accident. "I love fine food and fine dining. After the accident, I had to rely on someone to feed me because none of the assisted living products available enabled me to eat independently. Meal time became a simple feeding exercise, I had lost my dining experience. I had to recapture that portion of my life and, well, dine with dignity, independently...even in public. It is simple things like this that seem to help each of us feel better about ourselves. My task was clear." Now Dining With Dignity Flatware is available and is being distributed nationwide. Take a look, call us and regain independence, enjoy dining out or give a gift that will change a life. If you have any questions, drop Bob a note. You will get a passionate and helpful response. Specialty Flatware designed specifically for grasp impairment. Elegant, patented design enables those with grasp impairments to grasp their fork, knife and spoon, independently. An elegant adjustable yoke is attached to each implement handle. |

| NATIONAL FEDERATION OF THE BLIND - Founded in 1940, the National Federation of the Blind (NFB) is the nation's largest and most influential membership organization of blind persons. With fifty thousand members, the NFB has affiliates in all fifty states plus Washington D.C. and Puerto Rico, and over seven hundred local chapters. As a consumer and advocacy organization, the NFB is considered the leading force in the blindness field today. (Media Page) For more information about the leadership of the National Federation of the Blind please click (Board of Directors). The purpose of the National Federation of the Blind is two-fold—to help blind persons achieve self-confidence and self-respect and to act as a vehicle for collective self-expression by the blind. By providing public education about blindness, information and referral services, scholarships, literature and publications about blindness, aids and appliances and other adaptive equipment for the blind, advocacy services and protection of civil rights, development and evaluation of technology, and support for blind persons and their families, members of the NFB strive to educate the public that the blind are normal individuals who can compete on terms of equality. Special services of the National Federation of the Blind include a Materials Center containing over eleven hundred pieces of literature about blindness and four hundred different aids and appliances used by the blind and the International Braille and Technology Center for the Blind is the world's largest and most complete evaluation and demonstration center for all speech and Braille technology used by the blind from around the world. NFB-NEWSLINE® for the Blind, the world's first free talking newspaper service, offers the blind the complete text of leading national and local newspapers with the use of only a touch-tone telephone. Jobline offers national employment listings and job openings through a telephone menu system to anyone free of charge. Publications of the NFB include the Braille Monitor, which provides a positive philosophy about blindness and discusses events and activities of the Federation and in the blindness field and Future Reflections, a publication of the National Organization of Parents of Blind Children, a Division of the NFB. Voice of the Diabetic focuses on special interests and needs of diabetics and is a publication of the Diabetes Action Network, also a Division of the National Federation of the Blind. It is estimated that about 1.1 million people in the U.S. are blind. Each year 50,000 more will become blind. Studies show that only AIDS and cancer are feared more than blindness. However, blindness need not be the tragedy which it is generally thought to be. In the NFB we say, "The real problem of blindness is not the loss of eyesight, but the misunderstanding and lack of information which exist." |
