In prior years Sierra Services for the Blind has put on an Abalone Feed fundraiser, but new laws on Abalone prevent them from doing that.   Instead, Crandall says they will be holding a fundraiser Lasagna dinner this Friday evening (Sept. 7) at the Love Building in Condon Park serving dinner from 6 to 8 pm.   Cost is $25 adults, with  discounts for families with children. Crandall  says statistically  in Nevada County 3,000 people are considered legally blind. He says  Macular Degeneration continues to be  the leading cause of blindness.
