Vision of Hope Luncheon - 10/1/09

St. Lucy’s Auxiliary to the Blind welcomed guests to the Vision of Hope Luncheon at the Pittsburgh Field Club. Attendees dined on lemon chicken with a balsamic reduction, fresh pears and grilled Brie on mixed greens, wild mushroom multigrain pilaf, and a pumpkin cheesecake with crème anglaise. Frank Barnes, recipient of the Anne Freyvogel Hanna scholarship, gave a moving speech about his sudden blindness in his mid-40s and how Blind and Vision Rehabilitation Services helped him to adjust to his condition. The event also had a teacup raffle and a fashion show featuring clothing from Carabella Boutique in Oakmont. Photography by Megan Wylie
