     Every year, we distribute portions of this money to our VIST Coordinators, Terry Thorne Karen Petty and Todd Turansky. Joining contributions from the Blind Rehabilitation Center level, contribute to the Leisure/Recreation Director/ABRC, John Joe. Last year, we have added SC’s Visual Impairment Veteran’s of America (SCVIVA).  This year we have added the Augusta Blind Rehabilitation Center Alumni Association (ABRCAA). Throughout the year, these people attributed to our local communities, enhancing veteran services and are continually fighting for continued support throughout the Veterans Administation (VA) system.
