Dear AccessWorld readers,
Last month, AccessWorld celebrated Disability Employment Awareness Month by providing information about employment resources, strategies, and insider perspectives. Good job search strategies and resources are important all year long, so I encourage you to look back at last month's issue if you may have missed it and forward information to anyone you know who may be looking for employment or for better employment opportunities.
I want to offer a special thanks to CareerConnect Program Manager, Joe Strechay, and CareerConnect Employment Specialist, Detra Banister, for sharing their insights and perspectives in last month's Editor's Page.
As you know, there is now a chill in the air, and the days of fall are well upon us. It's time to start thinking about the holiday gift-giving season. Ready or not, the shopping season is just around the corner, and the AccessWorld team wants you to be ready with gift ideas for those in your life who experience vision loss.
In this issue, Deborah Kendrick provides great gift ideas ranging from low-tech items to high-tech productivity tools, all for under $100. Janet Ingber, once again, takes us on a virtual tour of popular online shopping sites and provides advice, tips, and tricks to get the most from your online holiday shopping experience.
The AccessWorld team hopes this issue will give you ideas and inspiration for finding just the right holiday gifts for your famly and friends with vision loss.
We wish you and yours health, happiness, and prosperity as we enter the holiday season.
Sincerely,
Lee Huffman
