Just a friendly reminder that THIS SATURDAY, May 2nd, the Wild West Chapter is taking over the Lakewood Grill, 8100 W Colfax Ave in Lakewood, from 2 to 6 p.m. — or until we've thoroughly overstayed our welcome in the most delightful way possible.
Now, we know some of you need a little more convincing than, "Just show up and have fun." Fine. Let's talk food.
The Lakewood Grill has been feeding Coloradans since 1950, and they know what they're doing. We're talking chile rellenos — two Anaheim green chilies stuffed with cheese, fried until golden, smothered in green chili and melted cheese, and served with refried beans and Spanish rice. On Cinco de Mayo. At a place that's been doing this longer than most of us have been alive. You really going to sit at home and eat a sandwich instead?
They've also got a steak wrap with marinated beef, grilled peppers and onions, cheddar, and a habanero drizzle that is not playing around.
Whether your poison is a cold margarita, a plate of chile rellenos, or an ungodly combination of the two — there is absolutely a seat at this table with your name on it. Great company, pool, arcade games, and enough local playoff drama to keep things interesting. And of course, the Kentucky Derby is Saturday, and we are the Wild West.
Here's the deal:
When: Saturday, May 2nd, 2–6 p.m. (or until eventual eviction)
Where: Lakewood Grill, 8100 W Colfax Ave, Lakewood, CO
What to bring: Yourself. That's the whole list.
Whether you're a Wild West regular or this is your first rodeo, you belong here. Come hungry, come ready to laugh, and come prepared to have a genuinely legendary Saturday afternoon.
See you there!

We are outraged that the blind community has to continue to wait for digital accessibility and equal access to state and local government information and services because of the continued delay of the implementation of a rule under title two of the ADA that would give blind Americans the same access as any other American to essential government services and education. Check out President Riccobono’s message and join us in advocating for these rights. How much longer do we have to wait?

It is finally here!!!!!

One of the Aurora chapter’s project for the past few years has been to bring awareness about the new law passed in 2023 requiring Colorado pharmacies to provide accessible prescription drug labels. We have worked hard to get medial attention and mostly no one paid attention. But our local Aurora Cable station liked the idea of a story.

The story on accessible prescription labels and ScripTalk finally aired tonight! We have been working on this for five months with this reporter. They did a great job!! Take a listen.

We all know how much of a pain it can be to read the tiny print on our prescription pill bottles, but if you're blind, you can't see any of it. Thankfully, there's a new state law that makes medication labels easier and safer for those who struggle to see as well as for seniors and those who speak a...

Some of you may remember the news story last fall with Julie Deden and Dan Burke at a sports event using the OneCourt device to follow the game using a device that showed through raised dots and lines, the court and where all the players were. The user needs to be at the arena or where the game is being shown in order to follow along. It is a “visual” or in our case, tactile look at the court while enjoying the sporting event.

OneCourt will present via zoon at our upcoming Aurora Chapter meeting on Saturday, March 28, 2026. The meeting begins at 10:30-12:30. OneCourt will be early on the agenda. Everyone is welcome to come to the meeting in person at the Heather Gardens Club House and stay for lunch or zoom in and listen to the presentation.

There will be no hands-on sorry to say, but several of our members have been interested in learning how it all works.

Meeting info.

We will meet in the Mountainview room beginning at 10:30am on the second floor at the Heather Gardens Club house on March 28.
