First Connection, a resources share group for people who are newly diagnosed with AMD or still feel like they are. The group will meet monthly from 9:30 - 10:15 a.m. prior to the regularly scheduled seminars at Sibley.  The Sibley programs will begin at 10:30, which we hope will also assist people who just want to attend our exciting lineup of talks being provided by experts in the field of eye care.
