Langston Hughes ----- Original Message ----- From: "Dan Burke" To: "NFB of Colorado Discussion List" Sent: Thursday, February 13, 2014 9:55 AM Subject: [Colorado-talk] Colorado'w Wating List - we need info Greetings! The NFB of Colorado needs your help. Colorado Voc Rehab has been in what is known as Order of Selection for nearly a year. Order of Selection amounts to a waiting list for applicants to vocational rehabilitation, and the continuation of this waiting list is a major concern for the NFB. We want to collect the names of blind Coloradoans who are either on the Colorado waiting list for services, or who were discouraged from applying because of the waiting list. What we need: We need your * Name * Age * contact info * The DVR office where you went to apply for services * Date you applied for DVR services, or were discouraged from applying * What you are doing since applying or not applying. Please get in touch with our NFB of Colorado office: Jessica Beecham jbeecham at nfbco.org 303-778-1130, extension 223. If you know of someone else who has been affected by the Colorado waiting list, please share this info and encourage them to contact us as well. Thanks in advance!

SAVE THE DATE! Sunday, April 27, 2014 , DENVER'S FAVORITE RUN / WALK. Schedule it. Ink it. Send it to the cloud. Mark whatever kind of calendar you have for the 2014 Sneak. This year, I am hoping to reach the goal of 60 visually impaired participants! Remember guides run for free. Lending Sight is now training with Achilles International - Colorado in Denver's Washington Park on Monday's 6PM. We have added Tuesday's training in Lafayette, JAX Outdoor Sports Good on Tuesday's 6PM with Sportstainability, and will be adding Boulder location on Wednesday's 6PM beginning April 2, 2014. New to this year, you will be registering online with discount codes at www.cherrycreeksneak.com. These codes will be sent in a message early next week to those who would like to participate. You will be registering under our Team Lending Sight and Achilles International - Colorado. Packet pickup will be at the New Boulder Running Company Store in the Cherry Creek Shopping Center. You and your guides will be packing up your packets from this location. This will be the NEW meeting place on race day at 7:00AM. The store is opening for our group ONLY! We will have a 5 minute hard start and will walk as a group to start. In order to increase participation, I would like to use mini vans with volunteer drivers for pockets of people who live near each other. FiftyTwo4Mom has been generous to offer $750.00 in donation to cover the costs of van rentals. Please forward to other visually impaired runners and walkers. Send me a quick reply if you plan to participate and I will email you the discount code. Best, Deb Conley
