So, we are a month ahead of last year’s schedule! </span></span></p><p dir="ltr"><span lang="en-us"><span style="font-family: Calibri;">The number one criticism, if you will, from John Mitchell, CEO of CABVI, was that this is an NFB event andthere were so few NFB members participating last year. </span></span></p><p dir="ltr"><span lang="en-us"><span style="font-family: Calibri;">I assured him that we would work on changing that, and I therefore</span></span><span lang="en-us"> <span style="font-family: Calibri;">put this challenge out to all of you. Please put October 15 on your calendar right now and please share this information with anyone who supports the work of the Federation. Many of you have recently bought NFB polo shirts. Many of you bought shirts specifically for the walk two years ago.</span></span><span lang="en-us"><span style="font-family: Calibri;"> </span></span></p><p dir="ltr"><span lang="en-us"><span style="font-family: Calibri;">I urge you to locate such Federation garments now so you are ready to wear them proudly on the walk downtown. </span></span></p><p dir="ltr"><span lang="en-us"><span style="font-family: Calibri;">Both Clovernook and CABVI are once again willling to organize and transport blind employees to the walk,</span></span><span lang="en-us"><span style="font-family: Calibri;"> so those of you who work at either agency, please talk the event up among your co-workers. </span></span></p><p dir="ltr"><span lang="en-us"><span style="font-family: Calibri;">If you haven’t done the walk before, it’s a very short walk – about six blocks, I think, and we kept it short so that absolutely everyone could participate. </span></span></p><p dir="ltr"><span lang="en-us"><span style="font-family: Calibri;">We walk with our canes, our dogs, our</span></span><span lang="en-us"><span style="font-family: Calibri;"> selves. Seeing us in numbers reminds our sighted fellow cincinnatians that we are here and that we share in the same rights and dreams as</span></span><span lang="en-us"> <span style="font-family: Calibri;">our sighted neighbors. </span></span></p><p dir="ltr"><span lang="en-us"><span style="font-family: Calibri;">Again, put it on your calendars and stay tuned!</span></span></p><p dir="ltr"><span lang="en-us"><span style="font-family: Calibri;">Deborah</span></span></p><p dir="ltr"><span lang="en-us"><span style="font-family: Calibri;"> </span></span></p></html>
