Point of Light
Lighthouse of Pinellas’ pared down
its Point of Light annual benefit
at the Sounder Social Club in
Dunedin. The afternoon included
refreshments, drinks and a live
recording for virtual viewers. The
highlight was a demonstration of
what it is like to live with a visual
impairment, as a master mixologist
was shown how it would be to
practice his profession, mixing
drinks with a sudden loss of vision.
To donate to the Lighthouse of
Pinellas to aid those with vision
problems, or for more information,
