1952-2012: Celebrating 60 years of expanding visual horizons

In a Moment Fundraiser Luncheon

Tuesday, June 1st, 2010

No one knows better than Terri Gilliland how in the seeming blink of an eye, one’s life can change forever.

In a very short span of time, Terri experienced three traumatic events.  She lost her sight.  Her husband’s life was dramatically altered after a near-fatal motorcycle accident, and their 15-year-old son was diagnosed with brain cancer.

In a Moment is a contemporary autobiography of one woman’s roller coaster life filled with pain, struggle, love and triumph.

On Wednesday, June 23, Terri will share her incredible and inspiring story at a special luncheon and book signing event.  She will also speak openly about how to communicate respectfully and effectively with individuals with disabilities.
