National Federation of the Blind
Greater Akron Chapter
Monthly Meeting Agenda

February 16
Time: 11 a.m.
Location: Akron Main Library, Meeting Room 1

Welcome and Roll Call

One Minute Message
The National Federation of the Blind knows that blindness is not the characteristic that defines you or your future. Every day we raise the expectations of blind people, because low expectations create obstacles between blind people and our dreams. You can live the life you want; blindness is not what holds you back

NFB Pledge
I pledge to participate actively in the effort of the National Federation of the Blind to achieve equality, opportunity, and security for the blind; to support the policies and programs of the Federation; and to abide by its Constitution.
