You may have seen Jim Bemiller at Common Grounds, usually drinking coffee with an interesting crowd.
But, he’s never seen you. He is blind. Jim invites Icon viewers to his world on Friday evening.
His invitation is to “Eye Can!” It’s from 5 to 7 p.m., Friday, April 7, in the Rhodes State College, Lima, Science Building, Room 100.
The evening is a collaboration of three groups. One is the Starlight Club, Lima, a support group of visually impaired and blind persons sponsored by the Lions Club.
Other sponsors are Rhodes State College and the Toledo Sight Center.
The Icon relaunched its 15-minute interviews with staff members of the Bluffton Public Library. Here's part of our chat with Jessica Hermiller. Watch for more interviews along the way.

How long have you been on the library staff?
Since January of 2014.
Bluffton Exempted Village Schools is the recipient of a $2,500 donation through the America's Farmer's Grow Communities Monsanto Fund, according to Greg Denecker, Bluffton schools superintendent.
"Chad Burkholder was the farmer who nominated Bluffton Schools to enter this contest," he said. "We will use these funds to purchase books for our students in the elementary that revolve around agriculture."
The next PrimeTimers event is noon, Tuesday, April 4.
