> Good morning,
> you might recall that a few weeks ago a message was sent out to you talking about the fact that we had done some things as the community service group as a part of the 2014 convention of the National Federation of the Blind.
> you might also recall that we had mentioned  the  fact that we had a great seminar, with great  presenters, and that it was a seminar with very good energy.
> We had attempted to weave in the   corporation for National and Community Service?s ?AmeriCorps 20? campaign  by having a few of our members speak to the  experience they had as members as they are now of  course alumni of the program. This was important to us because at a time when a nation-wide campaign is launched, we thought the blind should have their story told.
> The Larger theme of ?for the good of the community, for the good of the country? was discussed.
> From Mark  Riccobono?s urging that we become givers and not takers, and that we accept the challenge of being in the forefront of some of the important work our next great stage  in our movement comes up with,
> to Conchita  Hernandez  encouraging  training in the non-visual   techniques we use in order to serve as we want and should,and Garrick  Scott?s  telling us  that we might consider ourselves as  community servants in that those who serve don?t consider saying ?no? an option.
> from Charlotte Czarnecki  sharing the triumph of standing by our  words, and serving with our sighted peers in our first-ever service  project, Chris Parsons Challenging us to get involved, and showing us the tools to do it, no matter how used to serving we are, our scholarship winners empowering us to find our passions and use them as the way  through which we serve, and agencies  that came by and told us to serve and to join them  back home to make it happen.
> We had all this in more in the way of inspiration, love and opportunity.
> It had also been mentioned   in the follow-up post  that we had elected officers, and that we will be hard at work to build for the coming year.
> The Next stage of what we do is shaped by what you want.  Not only by what you say, but by what you will do.
> But here?s what  I am asking of you:
> I am asking  that you come up with one project you would like to see happen.  Not just that you would like just someone to do it, but something that you want to take ownership in doing.
> You might have the tools to do it, you might not have the tools to do it; either is fine.
> But what is absolutely  important is that you have an idea and the  desire to see that idea take shape. please be in touch via the below information should you have that idea.
> Stay close as well, we will have an opportunity in the near future for all of us to come together and plan together, no matter if you have an idea or not.
> Let?s get involved!
