Community Crafters: Sweet Valentine Surprises
2023-02-06 13:00 - 14:00
We have another great project for those who love to craft – and give back to others in our community!
In the Victorian era, flowers were assigned secret meanings using the “language of flowers” or floriography. Tussie-mussies, or small flower bouquets, were often given to express feelings without having to speak.
We will be making Victorian “tussie-mussies” using doilies, ribbons and paper filled with silk roses and greenery as well as some handmade “truffle roses”. The tussie-mussies will be part of a Valentine gift bag of goodies for Homebound Senior Adults in Lewisboro.
Thank you to Peter Rose for supplying the special treats for our gift bag, and to Priscilla Luckow for donating the supplies.

(Virtual) Hacking Disability: Accessible & Adaptable Tech
2023-01-23 19:00 - 20:00
Via Zoom.
In 2015, after over a decade of programming, Dr. Naomi Saphra lost the ability to type. Confronted with a programmer’s worst nightmare, she began the slow process of learning to dictate code. While attempting to customize her environment, she was confronted with paternalistic attitudes towards disabled people, which framed accessibility as “accommodation.”
Often, accommodations and products for disabled people have a rigid model for their use – but the needs of the disabled are diverse, and disabled people are perfectly capable of improving on the technology that they are offered. Like the diabetic hackers, who discovered that they could hack into their insulin pumps to make the device smarter, and shared step-by-step instructions online for others.
In this Tech Talk, Dr. Saphra will talk about the intersection of technology and disability, and the need for accessible systems that are open and adaptable, to allow people like Dr. Saphra to improve the tools they use.
