Escorts:
1. Arrive at the Glendora Transportation Building located at 410 E Dalton Ave, Glendora, California (across from Finkbiner Park) at 4:30 pm. Buses leave approximately at 4:45. You would be supplied the list of members that the bus is picking up & in the order in which they are to be picked up, along with the directions because the bus drivers are not always the same driver, so they may not know where they are going.
2. On the way, you call the member to advise them that you are on the way to pick them up.
3. Once you arrive at their home, you leave the bus and find the member & help them walk to the bus & help them onto the bus and into their seat.
4. When you arrive at the Glendora La Fetra Center, you do the same thing, help them off the bus, escort them into the building, they may need to go to the restroom, or help them to their seat.
5. Once everyone is off the bus and seated, you may stay for the program and enjoy a snack, or if you live close by you can go home or shopping, whatever you want to do. We request you return to La Fetra by 7:45 pm, and then you will escort the members back onto the bus, take them home & help them off the bus and into their home safely.
6. The bus will then return to the Glendora Transportation Center and drop you off.

Description
Eye-Das is a 501(c)3 non-profit organization dedicated to helping the visually impaired in the San Gabriel Valley. Membership is open to anyone with impaired, partial, or no vision. Sighted individuals are welcome. Eye-Das encourages those with visual problems to become more independent in order to be able to lead a more productive and satisfying life. Eye-Das was formed on July 16, 1975 by its Founder, Ida Fracasse. Eye-Das is supported primarily through private donations, grants & volunteer workers. The membership fee is $5.00 per year and we provide CCTV's to those in need. We deliver the CCTV at no cost, set it up and show the member how to use it. We also have monthly social meetings at 3 locations, Arcadia, 2nd Tuesday of each month, West Covina, 1st Monday of each month, both of these clubs are luncheons & the Glendora meeting, the 2nd Monday of each month is an evening meeting.
