Talking Information Center (TIC), a non-profit reading service based in Marshfield, MA, which broadcasts 24 hours a day to thousands of visually impaired and otherwise disabled listeners, is pleased to announce that Oce Harrison, Ed.D, Project Director of the New England ADA Center at the Institute for Human Centered Design in Boston, will be the guest speaker for their 24th Annual Wine Dinner Fundraiser on Thursday, November 3, 2016.
Dr. Harrison has directed the New England ADA Center since 2001 and provides ADA Title I Employment trainings throughout New England. She collaborated with the Center for Labor Market Studies at Northeastern University, which yielded groundbreaking research methods on various topics including “The Triumph of the Older Worker Despite the Great Recession.” She also led the region’s two largest events marking the 20th and the 25th Anniversary of the ADA on Boston Common.
TIC's fundraising dinner will be held at 6:30 p.m. at the Barker Tavern, a beautifully restored 17th century building located at 21 Barker Road in Scituate. Guests will enjoy a four course meal created specifically for this event by George Jordan, head chef at The Barker Tavern. Each meal will perfectly complement a corresponding wine.
The evening will also feature live and silent auctions that will include a trip to Baltimore to see the Red Sox take on the Orioles, admission passes to museums, foursomes with carts at the area’s most prestigious golf clubs, and even a tour of the State House by Representative Jim Cantwell.
All proceeds from the Annual Wine Dinner directly benefit TIC, which serves the listening needs of thousands of visually impaired and otherwise disabled listeners throughout Massachusetts, southern New Hampshire and Connecticut through its network affiliates in Mashpee, Pittsfield, Lowell, Springfield and Worcester. To donate an auction item or to sponsor this event, contact TIC's Anna Dunbar at 781-834-4400 or adunbar@ticnetwork.org.
Seating is limited. The Annual Wine Dinner is a very popular fundraising event and advanced reservations are required. To make reservations, visit www.ticnetwork.org.
