[Colorado-talk] Why are YOU a Federationist?

[Beth]

I am a Federationist because if I wasn't, I'd be like 70% of the 
blind, living with my parents, not possibly going to college or 
getting a job.

Greetings:

I am a federationist because The NFB taps into something very 
deep within
me - the yearning to be part of something larger than myself.  In 
fact,  the
federation does for me what soil does for plants because it 
nurtures me ,
and enables me to grow and to blossom.



The federation has given me the confidence to embrace challenges 
with an
attitude of not allowing the fear to smother out the fire but 
allowing the
fire to burn away the fear.



Thank you,

Eddie K. Thieszen - Culp M.A., CRC, CVE, NCC

 Hello



 The NFB of Colorado is considering the idea of creating a new 
brochure.
 Many times, it is the "personal touches" that really catch the 
eye (or
 fingers) of readers (grin).  In an attempt to add that "personal 
touch," I
 would like to ask all who are interested to submit a sentence or 
two
 detailing one of the following.

 A:  why I am a Federationist:

 B:  something gained from the NFB (how has the organization 
impacted your
 life).

 As brochures are not very long and we will have a lot of 
information
 regarding our programming, chapters, etc. remember to keep your 
comments
 short and sweet.  We will not be able to use all of the comments 
for this
 brochure but they may be useful for future endeavors, so if you 
have
 something to say please send it in.  You can reply to me 
directly at
 jbeecham at cocenter.org.



 Best Wishes
