attract more of the general public to our future events. The Chapter also celebrated White Cane Awareness Day, on October 17. Walking from the Union Terminal, to the Hornbeck Center. Lisa Hall read the proclamation. Mayor Aftab Pureval proclaimed October 15,
White Cane Awareness Day. Celebrating Blind Equality Achievement Month, throughout October. Gloria and David gave a presentation about togetherness. There were roughly 100 people in attendance, between CABVI, and NFB of Cincinnati. Finally, Gloria spoke about
the 2023 NFB of Ohio State Convention, taking place the upcoming weekend. All were encouraged to attend, and there were 15 people signed up to attend.</span><o:p></o:p></p>
