<div>Directions: as you face the main building, on the right side is a ramp and double glass door. That’s where we will meet. On that same side is Prospect Street, and across Prospect is the parking lot the Director suggests we use if coming in a car. We will
be there at the side glass door to meet everyone.</div>

<div>Our Message</div>
<div>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</div>
