Darian,

Am I reading you correctly that we won't be doing a service project at
National Convention?  Please let me know because if we're doing one, I want
to prepare for it.  If we're not doing one, I'm sorry because it could have
been a great opportunity for us.

I'm not sure how we'll do projects after Convention as we live in different
parts of the country but, I'm sure if we meet and discuss it, we'll come up
with a plan.  I mean, we're NFB members and we don't let anything stop us.

Regards,

Denise

Hello Listers,

I  Recognize there are individuals who may really want to go to convention,
but unfortunately will not be able to.
Of those folks, I know there are quite a few of you who really want to
contribute to the work of  ensuring that the blind have a place in
improving our  community and country, while showing the desire, talent and
capacity  that the blind have  through service.
  you want to engage blind   individualss  federationests, chapters, and
affiliates in  meaningful and demonstrative service that leads to  the
proper recognition of us  as citizens with first class status.
If you have ideas of ways to do this today and up until and through
convention, please be  in touch with me.
   Post-convention, we hope to initiate projects  that engage the Federation
on a  grass-roots level, but have made the important decision to focus the
energies we have on establishing our presence at National convention, where
we can start to plant the seeds, make the connections and  raise the
capital we need to support and modle the efforts we dream up.
  Once out of convention we  will put fourth strong  efforts to   innovative
ideas.  In order for these ideas to take off, we need  to engage the
creators of these ideas  and see that they take their ideas from what should
be done to  what we have done.

We have already found individuals  with great ideas on this list and those
with important views on how things ought to be done. I look forward to
working closely with those folks, as they  have a  clear  desire to build
and to  inspire.
  Again, Please be in touch with your ideas and enthusiasm.
  Best,
  Darian
