SUMMARY:NDEAM Virtual Networking Event
DESCRIPTION:  \nPlease join VISIONS in celebrating National Disability Employment Awareness Month (NDEAM) on October 28th from 12:00 PM-2:00 PM. This virtual event will include a fireside chat with policy worker and facilitator of change\, Laurel Hilbert\, along with networking rooms and raffle prizes.\n  \nAbout Laurel Hilbert\nThroughout his life’s work\, Laurel has been invigorated by the ideas of implementing change through public policy\, education\, economic empowerment\, civil rights\, and homelessness measures. Arriving in the US as a totally blind\, 17-year-old Syrian homeless teen\, who did not know any English\, Laurel Hilbert’s amazing journey began. Laurel said\, “I just have to do it.” Life in Saudi Arabia\, where he and his family had migrated to prior to him coming to the US was too limiting. He felt that he did not fit in in Saudi Arabia and lacked access to educational support such as audiobooks\, Braille books\, and the assistive technology that he needed to be successful. Just eight short years later\, at the age of 25\, Laurel ran marathons\, started his own non-profit\, and in the last few years\, interned and then worked for Senator Dianne Feinstein\, and much\, much more. Currently\, Laurel is employed as a Customer Experience Associate at Robinhood\, and pursuing a Bachelor of Arts in Economics from Harvard University’s school of continuing education. Laurel says that he is forever grateful for his family and friends who served as an oasis of hope. Laurel is artistic\, ambidextrous\, altruistic\, and loves meeting new people. \n  \nClick Here to Register (via Zoom)

Ms. Turner created both the Miss Black Staten Island and Miss Special Staten Island beauty pageants for the borough. Miss Special Staten Island specifically focuses on providing young women of various disabilities with the opportunity to showcase their talents\, feel beautiful\, and have the opportunity for civic engagement. Turner has made it her mission to make the event all-inclusive\, even integrating pageant judges who identify as “disabled” as part of the event. For those girls who win the crown\, Karyn Turner escorts them to various Staten Island community activities to represent the organization and hopefully encourage other young women in the borough to participate. Miss Special Staten Island contestants and winners make a yearly appearance at the Staten Island Beeping Egg Hunt. \n  \n  \nThrough a generous grant from the Staten Island Foundation\, VISIONS created the borough’s first North Shore Low Vision Clinic. Children ages 5-18 were provided with a comprehensive eye exam conducted by licensed optometrists and then fitted for frames and lenses. In 2019\, VISIONS conducted two low vision clinics\, where over 350 children were examined. Five dedicated volunteers from the organization’s North Shore Low Vision Clinic program will also be honored during the evening with the VISIONS Civic Engagement Award. They include 4 eye care professionals: Dr. Mario Calderon\, OPT\, Dr. Vincente Calderon\, OD\, Dr. Jan Weitz\, OD\, Pediatric Occupational Therapist Saira Weitz\, OTR/L\, and Dr. Bryan Wolynski\, OD. \n  \n \nVincente’s brother\, Mario Calderón\, OPT \, is an entrepreneur\, entertainer and optician. Mario’s journey began as a collegiate wrestler and Biology major at Hofstra University. After living in Los Angeles and earning credits such as commercial actor\, backup dancer for Ricky Martin\, and television host\, Mario was seeking his next role. While on a mission trip in the Dominican Republic\, an interaction with a 12 year-old nearsighted tween\, who had never worn glasses\, gave Mario the spark for his next stage in life. He partnered up with his brother Dr. Vincente Calderón and they began serving the underserved in NYC by visiting senior patients in their homes. \n  \n \nDr. Vincente Calderón is one of only a handful of native fluent Spanish speaking optometrists practicing in New York. He treats patients in all five boroughs and the surrounding counties. After working in a surgical ophthalmology practice for several years\, he now operates his house call eye doctor practice Aspire Health Solutions.

Aspire Health Solutions (www.AspireHS.com) specializes in in-home eye care for diabetics\, and primary eye care for senior and mobility challenged patients. \n  \n \nDr. Jan and Saira Weitz both volunteered during VISIONS screenings. Jan did the examinations while his wife\, Saira\, helped manage patient charts. Dr. Jan Weitz has been practicing Optometry since 2009. Dr. Weitz attended Hofstra University for his undergraduate education and then Optometry school in Bayamon\, Puerto Rico at Inter American University School of Optometry.

Dr. Wolynski continued his education by completing a residency in Primary Care at the prestigious NOVA Southeastern University. During the first half of his career\, Dr. Wolynski worked for a private family practice in New York City. After a number of years in practice\, he joined the Florida Heiken Children’s Vision Program\, a division of the Miami Lighthouse\, and spent three years providing mobile eye care to financially underprivileged children throughout the state of Florida. While practicing low vision\, Dr. Wolynski found his passion for not only helping others but empowering individuals who were blind or visually impaired through technology. He consults for an Israeli tech company called OrCam Technologies\, which uses the power of artificial intelligence to assist people with vision loss. \n  \n  \n \nFinally\, Victoria Priola will receive the VISIONS Excellence in Journalism Award in recognition of her educational and inclusive coverage of stories relating to the blind and disabled community. Priola is a reporter with the Staten Island Advance/SILive.com covering the beat of arts and entertainment through multimedia platforms.
