Listen to “The Beacon” radio show
tomorrow, presented by the Chicago Lighthouse, on WCPT 820 AM, 7-8 am tomorrow,
Saturday April 30. My composition “Wintram”
is on the program that Lucie Ticho will be presenting on Saturday May 7, 2016.
Here are the full details
directly from The Chicago Lighthouse:
Our friends at “The Beacon” wrap
up the month of April tomorrow (Saturday) morning with another stellar
broadcast on issues of interest to people with disabilities, seniors and
Veterans. The show can be heard from 7 am to 8 am on WCPT 820-AM.
Host Bill Jurek welcomes Jim
Chilsen of the Citizens Utilities Board (CUB), who’ll give us an update on
what’s happening this spring in the world of utilities. Jim will
also discuss pending legislation and its impact on consumers.
Then “Beacon” contributor Sandy
Murillo, who authors her own blog, conducts a thoughtful interview with Dr. Ben
Ticho, a local ophthalmologist and Lighthouse supporter, and his daughter
Lucie, a talented musician who is performing at a special concert on May 7th, 2016. They
will give a preview of the concert, which will be Lucie’s last in Chicago
before she heads east to study in a combined Columbia University-Juilliard
School program, an honor given to just 12 musicians this year. Lucie’s
family is underwriting the cost of tickets to her May 7th performance, which
will take place at 6 p.m. at Second Presbyterian Church, 1936 South Michigan
Avenue. Lighthouse staff members and program participants are
invited to attend as their guests. To RSVP and for more details,

Up next will be another talented
“Beacon” contributor, Lainie Williams-Kleemann, who will talk about tasty and healthy
smoothies on her popular “Lettuce, Turnip, the Beet” segment.
In addition, we’ll make our
weekly call on “Tom’s Corner” with Tom Perski, senior vice president of
rehabilitation services, and “Beacon” producer Brian Hawkins. This
week, Tom talks about free updates to the Prodigi Duo and Connect 12
devices. Produced by HumanWare, both products are especially
designed to enable people who are visually impaired to enjoy reading
again. They are among the most advanced personal vision assistants;
easy to use, adaptable and portable. Rounding out the segment will
be a preview of upcoming road shows in Romeoville on May 3rd, Glenview on May
17th and Worth on May 24th.
