In March, 1952 - when stereo photography was on everyone’s mind - the Chicago Lighthouse for the Blind sponsored a “Snow Ball”, an annul fund-raising event. A feature of the intermission was an invitational exhibition of 3-D photogra-phy. Well-known personalities, including actor Harold Lloyd and the drugstore chain’s Myrtle Walgreen, were invited to exhibit. Many members of the Jackson Park Camera Club’s 3- D section also exhibited.

The “Snow Ball” became the foundation stone of the Chicago Stereo Camera Club. A group of stereographers un-der the guidance of Robert L. McIntyre, Camera Editor of the Chicago Tribune, organized the club with hosting the Chicago Lighthouse International Exhibition of Stereo Photography as one of its primary purposes. The club joined the Photographic Society of America with the result that shows had to be conformed to meet PSA’s rigid exhibition standards. Workshop parties were held often and club members attended not only to participate but to support, serve and cheer those who were doing the work. At public presentations, ladies of the club wore gowns and the gentlemen dressed accordingly, a sign of the lofty position the club held in Chicago society.

Today, the Chicago Lighthouse International Exhibition of Stereo photography is proud to be listed as one of the lon-gest continuing contributors to the Chicago Lighthouse.

Since 1906, The Chicago Lighthouse has been creating opportunities to enable people who are blind, visually impaired or blind with additional disabilities to have equal access to education and employment.

With a broad base of corporate, foundation and individual support, hopes become reality every day at the Lighthouse: a child takes a first step toward indepen-dence with a white cane; a senior citizen lives independently with special visual aids.

New initiatives in the past year include a new assistive devices store online for more convenient shopping. Small business owners who are blind had 14 new store opportunities developed through the work of Lighthouse business developers. The clock making facility added an additional production line to keep up with orders, now making 1,200 clocks each day. The Low Vision Clinic has added occupational therapists and psycho-social support services to help people adjust to low vision. A new satellite clinic for low vision services has been opened at Northwestern Memorial Hospital, open two days a week. CRIS Radio studios have recorded a weekly program called “The Beacon” that can be heard on 950AM radio each Sunday, covering issues and events for people living with blindness.

Entry fees and donations received at public showings of this salon have supplied some of the funds required for non-grant items essential to the operation of The Chicago Lighthouse. The Chicago Stereo Camera Club is proud to be the sponsor and contributor for the sixtythird consecutive year. A voluntary contribution, in addition to your ticket purchase, will help continue the good work. We thank you for your support. Please take a virtual tour of The Lighthouse at www.thechicagolighthouse.org.
