We believe that with knowledge, training and motivation, people affected by blindness can succeed and thrive in any workplace, live productive and meaningful lives, and be important contributors to their communities.
Tax Time Tips
As tax season approaches, it is important for us to reflect upon last year while preparing for the year at hand. One important thing to consider is charitable giving. According to Forbes magazine, “Making a charitable donation is not only a chance to make a difference: it’s also an excellent way to reduce your tax burden for the year.” Read more in the magazine’s full article Making Your Gifts Count: 10 Smart Tips For Charitable Giving
Feeling charitable? Contributions to the Dallas Lighthouse support our programs and services that provide opportunity for individuals who are blind or visually impaired in our community.
Employee of the Month: Lyndell Morgan
Lyndell Morgan (pictured left) is our Employee of the Month for February. Lyndell works in our Industrial Division in the molding department and was nominated by his supervisor, Tony Laffin (pictured right). Lyndell was recognized because of his excellent work ethic, dedication and commitment to teamwork.
At age 32, Lyndell began struggling with the loss of his eyesight. He received some recovery through cataract surgery, but eight years later in 1990, Glaucoma and Retinitis Pigmentosa permanently eliminated most of his eyesight. Left with only slight vision in his left eye and none in his right, Lyndell didn't allow this challenge to put the brakes on his productive and purposeful life.
In 2000, Lyndell began working for the Dallas Lighthouse. Not only is Lyndell a productive and committed team member, he is living proof that when you maintain an optimistic attitude, losing your eyesight doesn't mean losing your vision.
Congratulations, Lyndell!
