	I look forward to speaking with Mari.  I can be reached at
Kevanworley at worleyenterprises.com or by phone, office: (866) 
543-6808.
Nicky Gacos is the President of the National Association of Blind 
Merchants.
He can also be reached at the number above, extension 10.
	There are 2,500 Blind Entrepreneurs operating small ventures 
under
the Randolph Sheppard program.  Information about this 
Federal/State
Vocational Rehabilitation Program can be obtained through your 
local state
agency for the blind.  Entrepreneurs in Randolph Program 
primarily operate
vending machine, concessions, snack bar and cafeteria businesses.  
Some of
these blind vendors have moved outside of the Randolph Sheppard 
program to
operate other businesses.  There have also been blind 
entrepreneurs who have
successfully owned, operated, and managed businesses including 
restaurants
completely unaffiliated with Randolph Sheppard.
	 We hope Mary is a member of her local NFB chapter.  We look 
forward
to having her as a member or our National Association of Blind 
Merchants,
which is a strong division of NFB.  Nicky Gacos or I look forward 
to sharing
ideas.

Hi,

This is a blind issue because I am blind.  I have a great 
business idea.  I
know the location where I know the business will succeed.  I just 
seem to be
sabotaging myself because of pure fear.  Silly, I know.  But I 
guess I'm just
afraid to fail.  So, I ask, Has anyone on this list or do you 
know any blind
or visually blind people who have ever started their own 
restaurant?

Please let me know.  I am in the process of researching how to 
write a
business plan, seek investors, grants, financing, etc.

Thank you,
Mari Hunziker
