Mira Dining in the Dark
The second annual Dining in the Dark, hosted by MIRA Foundation USA, with special appreciation to Carolina Eye Associates, was held at the Country Club on North Carolina on Saturday, April 2. Guests donned their blindfolds and aprons, and prepared to dine without the use of their eyes. Dinner music was provided by guitarist Danny Infantino and violinist Seren Lyerly. After prospective student candidates for MIRA guide dogs were introduced, ventriloquist Steve Brogan entertained the guests. Photos were taken by Al and Annette Daniels.
