what do you think of the taste of distinction gift basket for our
convention, and possibly giving it away as a fundraiser at our 75th
annual convention?
http://www.1800baskets.com/taste-distinction-basket-141193?categoryId=400135984.
I have a question. Would the nfbcsd be opposed to giving edible fruit
arrangements? I found lots of those.

>> What?s the Most Important Question in Your Life?
>>
>> Aaron Schwartz, the famous programmer and internet activist who died
>> before
>> his time, said: ?You should be asking yourself all the time what is the
>> most
>> important thing in the world I could be working on right now, and if you
>> are
>> not working on that, why aren?t you??
>> These days in Silicon Valley, I meet people who are smart and working at
>> a
>> company ?changing the world.? I don?t want to rain on their parade, but
>> developing another instant messaging service is not ?changing the world.?
>> It?s not that these people are intentionally neglecting the larger issues
>> in
>> the world, or that they don?t care.
>> I believe it?s because some people don?t yet know what is important to
>> them
>> and what they can do about it.
>> How do you move from skimming news headlines to caring about the issue?
>> And
>> then from caring about the issue to wanting to make it what you want to
>> spend your time working on?
>> How to Find Yourself and Change the World
>> I encourage people to take this into their own hands. To learn about
>> yourself and what you are capable of. Take the initiative and open
>> yourself
>> up to the broader experiences of the world?to experiences that might be
>> new,
>> exciting, emotional, and sometimes physically uncomfortable.
>> One of the most meaningful experiences of my life was volunteering at a
>> human rights nonprofit and interviewing refugees in a camp on the
>> Thai-Burma
>> border. There was no running water, no electricity. We sat on the bare
>> floors of their thatched huts. I listened to their stories of their
>> lives.
>> Family members would pick up the guitar and take turns singing
>> traditional
>> folk songs.
>> I came back to my last year of Harvard Law School and felt no temptation
>> to
>> go to the recruiting events of the big law firms. I was one of the very
>> few
>> who did not have a job upon graduation. I continued to write and
>> eventually fell into journalism. I was so grateful that I had found
>> something that was important to me, that I could call my work.
>> To truly realize what is important to you and what you can do to make a
>> difference?learn by doing. Don?t worry if you don?t know enough yet about
>> the issue?you will learn it by doing it.
>> Be Curious?Say Yes
>> If you are invited to visit a low-income neighborhood in Oakland and tour
>> their community garden, do it. Go and don?t be afraid to talk to the
>> people
>> who live there and learn about their community. If the Rainforest Action
>> Network has a public talk about orangutans in the Sumatran rainforest
>> threatened by loggers, go listen and meet the people involved. If there?s
>> a
>> screening of Power of Two, an award-winning movie about cystic fibrosis
>> and
>> discussion with the producers, go to the movie and stay for the
>> discussion.
>> If your local open space preserve has a family day with guided
>> bird-watching
>> tours, go check it out and hear from the guides about how they are
>> building
>> more public access trails.
>> There are so many public events open to all who are curious to learn more
>> about social causes. Say yes to these invitations.
>> Volunteer with a Nonprofit
>> Do you have an interest in children? Volunteer with CASA, a national
>> nonprofit, to visit a young child near you who is placed in foster home.
>> Get
>> a huge smile from your foster-child when you offer to take them to see a
>> movie.
>> Do you want to learn more about health on the frontlines? Volunteer at
>> the
>> local free clinic that serves the poorest of our society?help people get
>> screened for high blood pressure or get training to be a peer counsellor
>> to
>> at-risk young people.
>> Do you have skills such as writing or design? You?ve got a valuable skill
>> that almost any nonprofit could use. Take action and call them up even if
>> you don?t see a volunteer posting. Ask them if you could help them with
>> their email newsletter, brochure for an upcoming fundraiser, or their
>> website.
>> Bono was asked about how he became an activist for Africa. Once I
>> visited
>> Africa, he said, ?I saw it, I heard it and I felt it.?
>> You will gain knowledge and confidence. By living fully?not turning away
>> from things that are different, complex, messy, intense?you will find how
>> you are capable of doing meaningful work.
>> Keep asking yourself along the way: ?What is the most important thing in
>> the
>> world I could be working on right now, and if I?m not, why aren?t I??

>> Hi all,
>>
>> Thanks for sharing this, Darian. I will second the comment that the
>> division?s Twitter is a great source of information on all things
>> community
>> service.
>>
>> I really like this article, and I think its author has some really good
>> things to say about getting involved in service and finding out what you
>> truly enjoy doing. The main thing that struck me is the point the author
>> made about being open to new experiences and just getting out there and
>> trying something you think you?re interested in, even if you don?t think
>> you
>> know enough about how to do it. Often you do end up learning the most
>> valuable information through emersion. I know this is one of the biggest
>> struggles I?ve had personally in getting more involved in service. I?m a
>> very structured person. It?s a lot easier for me to go and do something if
>> I
>> know exactly how it?s going to go and what is going to be asked of me.
>> What
>> this author is saying, though, is that the key is just to get out there
>> and
>> you will learn what you need to learn as you go along, and that?s okay. I
>> know thinking like this makes me a little nervous, and I would imagine
>> that
>> this fear of the unknown is what ultimately leads many blind people to
>> decide not to serve because we worry that we won?t know how to perform
>> the
>> tasks that are needed. This article stresses that the key is just to say
>> yes. Don?t think too much about it. In full disclosure, I?m not saying
>> that
>> this is easy. I?ll be the first to say that it?s certainly not for me, but
>> I
>> think it?s advice worth trying. And what better time to try than during
>> the
>> 75 Days of Service, when there?s a whole group of people there to support
>> you and talk through any worries or challenges you might have.
>>
>> The author asks us how we move from passively skimming headlines to
>> caring
>> to actively doing. This is a question I?ve wondered about for some time,
>> and
>> it?s why I love what we?re doing with the 75 Days of Service because
>> we?re
>> not just talking about what issues are important to us and what we?d like
>> to
>> do about them or what we wish someone else would do about them; we?re
>> actually making plans and taking an active role in giving back to our
>> communities.
>>
>> The following passage from the article resonated with me the most: ?By
>> living fully?not turning away from things that are different, complex,
>> messy, intense?you will find how you are capable of doing meaningful
>> work.?
>> This speaks to me not just as a person who wants to get more involved in
>> service, not just as a blind person, but as a person in general, and I
>> think
>> it?s something we can all take to heart in our lives.

>> What?s the Most Important Question in Your Life?
>>
>> Aaron Schwartz, the famous programmer and internet activist who died
>> before
>> his time, said: ?You should be asking yourself all the time what is the
>> most
>> important thing in the world I could be working on right now, and if you
>> are
>> not working on that, why aren?t you??
>> These days in Silicon Valley, I meet people who are smart and working at
>> a
>> company ?changing the world.? I don?t want to rain on their parade, but
>> developing another instant messaging service is not ?changing the world.?
>> It?s not that these people are intentionally neglecting the larger issues
>> in
>> the world, or that they don?t care.
>> I believe it?s because some people don?t yet know what is important to
>> them
>> and what they can do about it.
>> How do you move from skimming news headlines to caring about the issue?
>> And
>> then from caring about the issue to wanting to make it what you want to
>> spend your time working on?
>> How to Find Yourself and Change the World
>> I encourage people to take this into their own hands. To learn about
>> yourself and what you are capable of. Take the initiative and open
>> yourself
>> up to the broader experiences of the world?to experiences that might be
>> new,
>> exciting, emotional, and sometimes physically uncomfortable.
>> One of the most meaningful experiences of my life was volunteering at a
>> human rights nonprofit and interviewing refugees in a camp on the
>> Thai-Burma
>> border. There was no running water, no electricity. We sat on the bare
>> floors of their thatched huts. I listened to their stories of their
>> lives.
>> Family members would pick up the guitar and take turns singing
>> traditional
>> folk songs.
>> I came back to my last year of Harvard Law School and felt no temptation
>> to
>> go to the recruiting events of the big law firms. I was one of the very
>> few
>> who did not have a job upon graduation. I continued to write and
>> eventually fell into journalism. I was so grateful that I had found
>> something that was important to me, that I could call my work.
>> To truly realize what is important to you and what you can do to make a
>> difference?learn by doing. Don?t worry if you don?t know enough yet about
>> the issue?you will learn it by doing it.
>> Be Curious?Say Yes
>> If you are invited to visit a low-income neighborhood in Oakland and tour
>> their community garden, do it. Go and don?t be afraid to talk to the
>> people
>> who live there and learn about their community. If the Rainforest Action
>> Network has a public talk about orangutans in the Sumatran rainforest
>> threatened by loggers, go listen and meet the people involved. If there?s
>> a
>> screening of Power of Two, an award-winning movie about cystic fibrosis
>> and
>> discussion with the producers, go to the movie and stay for the
>> discussion.
>> If your local open space preserve has a family day with guided
>> bird-watching
>> tours, go check it out and hear from the guides about how they are
>> building
>> more public access trails.
>> There are so many public events open to all who are curious to learn more
>> about social causes. Say yes to these invitations.
>> Volunteer with a Nonprofit
>> Do you have an interest in children? Volunteer with CASA, a national
>> nonprofit, to visit a young child near you who is placed in foster home.
>> Get
>> a huge smile from your foster-child when you offer to take them to see a
>> movie.
>> Do you want to learn more about health on the frontlines? Volunteer at
>> the
>> local free clinic that serves the poorest of our society?help people get
>> screened for high blood pressure or get training to be a peer counsellor
>> to
>> at-risk young people.
>> Do you have skills such as writing or design? You?ve got a valuable skill
>> that almost any nonprofit could use. Take action and call them up even if
>> you don?t see a volunteer posting. Ask them if you could help them with
>> their email newsletter, brochure for an upcoming fundraiser, or their
>> website.
>> Bono was asked about how he became an activist for Africa. Once I
>> visited
>> Africa, he said, ?I saw it, I heard it and I felt it.?
>> You will gain knowledge and confidence. By living fully?not turning away
>> from things that are different, complex, messy, intense?you will find how
>> you are capable of doing meaningful work.
>> Keep asking yourself along the way: ?What is the most important thing in
>> the
>> world I could be working on right now, and if I?m not, why aren?t I??

>> Hi all,
>>
>> Thanks for sharing this, Darian. I will second the comment that the
>> division?s Twitter is a great source of information on all things
>> community
>> service.
>>
>> I really like this article, and I think its author has some really good
>> things to say about getting involved in service and finding out what you
>> truly enjoy doing. The main thing that struck me is the point the author
>> made about being open to new experiences and just getting out there and
>> trying something you think you?re interested in, even if you don?t think
>> you
>> know enough about how to do it. Often you do end up learning the most
>> valuable information through emersion. I know this is one of the biggest
>> struggles I?ve had personally in getting more involved in service. I?m a
>> very structured person. It?s a lot easier for me to go and do something if
>> I
>> know exactly how it?s going to go and what is going to be asked of me.
>> What
>> this author is saying, though, is that the key is just to get out there
>> and
>> you will learn what you need to learn as you go along, and that?s okay. I
>> know thinking like this makes me a little nervous, and I would imagine
>> that
>> this fear of the unknown is what ultimately leads many blind people to
>> decide not to serve because we worry that we won?t know how to perform
>> the
>> tasks that are needed. This article stresses that the key is just to say
>> yes. Don?t think too much about it. In full disclosure, I?m not saying
>> that
>> this is easy. I?ll be the first to say that it?s certainly not for me, but
>> I
>> think it?s advice worth trying. And what better time to try than during
>> the
>> 75 Days of Service, when there?s a whole group of people there to support
>> you and talk through any worries or challenges you might have.
>>
>> The author asks us how we move from passively skimming headlines to
>> caring
>> to actively doing. This is a question I?ve wondered about for some time,
>> and
>> it?s why I love what we?re doing with the 75 Days of Service because
>> we?re
>> not just talking about what issues are important to us and what we?d like
>> to
>> do about them or what we wish someone else would do about them; we?re
>> actually making plans and taking an active role in giving back to our
>> communities.
>>
>> The following passage from the article resonated with me the most: ?By
>> living fully?not turning away from things that are different, complex,
>> messy, intense?you will find how you are capable of doing meaningful
>> work.?
>> This speaks to me not just as a person who wants to get more involved in
>> service, not just as a blind person, but as a person in general, and I
>> think
>> it?s something we can all take to heart in our lives.

>> If you are invited to visit a low-income neighborhood in Oakland and tour
>> their community garden, do it. Go and don?t be afraid to talk to the
>> people
>> who live there and learn about their community. If the Rainforest Action
>> Network has a public talk about orangutans in the Sumatran rainforest
>> threatened by loggers, go listen and meet the people involved. If there?s
>> a
>> screening of Power of Two, an award-winning movie about cystic fibrosis
>> and
>> discussion with the producers, go to the movie and stay for the
>> discussion.
>> If your local open space preserve has a family day with guided
>> bird-watching
>> tours, go check it out and hear from the guides about how they are
>> building
>> more public access trails.
>> There are so many public events open to all who are curious to learn more
>> about social causes. Say yes to these invitations.
>> Volunteer with a Nonprofit
>> Do you have an interest in children? Volunteer with CASA, a national
>> nonprofit, to visit a young child near you who is placed in foster home.
>> Get
>> a huge smile from your foster-child when you offer to take them to see a
>> movie.
>> Do you want to learn more about health on the frontlines? Volunteer at
>> the
>> local free clinic that serves the poorest of our society?help people get
>> screened for high blood pressure or get training to be a peer counsellor
>> to
>> at-risk young people.
>> Do you have skills such as writing or design? You?ve got a valuable skill
>> that almost any nonprofit could use. Take action and call them up even if
>> you don?t see a volunteer posting. Ask them if you could help them with
>> their email newsletter, brochure for an upcoming fundraiser, or their
>> website.
>> Bono was asked about how he became an activist for Africa. Once I
>> visited
>> Africa, he said, ?I saw it, I heard it and I felt it.?
>> You will gain knowledge and confidence. By living fully?not turning away
>> from things that are different, complex, messy, intense?you will find how
>> you are capable of doing meaningful work.
>> Keep asking yourself along the way: ?What is the most important thing in
>> the
>> world I could be working on right now, and if I?m not, why aren?t I??

>>> What?s the Most Important Question in Your Life?
>>>
>>> Aaron Schwartz, the famous programmer and internet activist who died
>>> before
>>> his time, said: ?You should be asking yourself all the time what is the
>>> most
>>> important thing in the world I could be working on right now, and if you
>>> are
>>> not working on that, why aren?t you??
>>> These days in Silicon Valley, I meet people who are smart and working at
>>> a
>>> company ?changing the world.? I don?t want to rain on their parade, but
>>> developing another instant messaging service is not ?changing the
>>> world.?
>>> It?s not that these people are intentionally neglecting the larger issues
>>> in
>>> the world, or that they don?t care.
>>> I believe it?s because some people don?t yet know what is important to
>>> them
>>> and what they can do about it.
>>> How do you move from skimming news headlines to caring about the issue?
>>> And
>>> then from caring about the issue to wanting to make it what you want to
>>> spend your time working on?
>>> How to Find Yourself and Change the World
>>> I encourage people to take this into their own hands. To learn about
>>> yourself and what you are capable of. Take the initiative and open
>>> yourself
>>> up to the broader experiences of the world?to experiences that might be
>>> new,
>>> exciting, emotional, and sometimes physically uncomfortable.
>>> One of the most meaningful experiences of my life was volunteering at a
>>> human rights nonprofit and interviewing refugees in a camp on the
>>> Thai-Burma
>>> border. There was no running water, no electricity. We sat on the bare
>>> floors of their thatched huts. I listened to their stories of their
>>> lives.
>>> Family members would pick up the guitar and take turns singing
>>> traditional
>>> folk songs.
>>> I came back to my last year of Harvard Law School and felt no temptation
>>> to
>>> go to the recruiting events of the big law firms. I was one of the very
>>> few
>>> who did not have a job upon graduation. I continued to write and
>>> eventually fell into journalism. I was so grateful that I had found
>>> something that was important to me, that I could call my work.
>>> To truly realize what is important to you and what you can do to make a
>>> difference?learn by doing. Don?t worry if you don?t know enough yet
>>> about
>>> the issue?you will learn it by doing it.
>>> Be Curious?Say Yes
>>> If you are invited to visit a low-income neighborhood in Oakland and
>>> tour
>>> their community garden, do it. Go and don?t be afraid to talk to the
>>> people
>>> who live there and learn about their community. If the Rainforest Action
>>> Network has a public talk about orangutans in the Sumatran rainforest
>>> threatened by loggers, go listen and meet the people involved. If there?s
>>> a
>>> screening of Power of Two, an award-winning movie about cystic fibrosis
>>> and
>>> discussion with the producers, go to the movie and stay for the
>>> discussion.
>>> If your local open space preserve has a family day with guided
>>> bird-watching
>>> tours, go check it out and hear from the guides about how they are
>>> building
>>> more public access trails.
>>> There are so many public events open to all who are curious to learn
>>> more
>>> about social causes. Say yes to these invitations.
>>> Volunteer with a Nonprofit
>>> Do you have an interest in children? Volunteer with CASA, a national
>>> nonprofit, to visit a young child near you who is placed in foster home.
>>> Get
>>> a huge smile from your foster-child when you offer to take them to see a
>>> movie.
>>> Do you want to learn more about health on the frontlines? Volunteer at
>>> the
>>> local free clinic that serves the poorest of our society?help people get
>>> screened for high blood pressure or get training to be a peer counsellor
>>> to
>>> at-risk young people.
>>> Do you have skills such as writing or design? You?ve got a valuable
>>> skill
>>> that almost any nonprofit could use. Take action and call them up even
>>> if
>>> you don?t see a volunteer posting. Ask them if you could help them
>>> with
>>> their email newsletter, brochure for an upcoming fundraiser, or their
>>> website.
>>> Bono was asked about how he became an activist for Africa. Once I
>>> visited
>>> Africa, he said, ?I saw it, I heard it and I felt it.?
>>> You will gain knowledge and confidence. By living fully?not turning away
>>> from things that are different, complex, messy, intense?you will find
>>> how
>>> you are capable of doing meaningful work.
>>> Keep asking yourself along the way: ?What is the most important thing in

>>> Hi all,
>>>
>>> Thanks for sharing this, Darian. I will second the comment that the
>>> division?s Twitter is a great source of information on all things
>>> community
>>> service.
>>>
>>> I really like this article, and I think its author has some really good
>>> things to say about getting involved in service and finding out what you
>>> truly enjoy doing. The main thing that struck me is the point the author
>>> made about being open to new experiences and just getting out there and
>>> trying something you think you?re interested in, even if you don?t think
>>> you
>>> know enough about how to do it. Often you do end up learning the most
>>> valuable information through emersion. I know this is one of the biggest
>>> struggles I?ve had personally in getting more involved in service. I?m a
>>> very structured person. It?s a lot easier for me to go and do something
>>> if I
>>> know exactly how it?s going to go and what is going to be asked of me.
>>> What
>>> this author is saying, though, is that the key is just to get out there
>>> and
>>> you will learn what you need to learn as you go along, and that?s okay.
>>> I
>>> know thinking like this makes me a little nervous, and I would imagine
>>> that
>>> this fear of the unknown is what ultimately leads many blind people to
>>> decide not to serve because we worry that we won?t know how to perform
>>> the
>>> tasks that are needed. This article stresses that the key is just to say
>>> yes. Don?t think too much about it. In full disclosure, I?m not saying
>>> that
>>> this is easy. I?ll be the first to say that it?s certainly not for me,
>>> but I
>>> think it?s advice worth trying. And what better time to try than during
>>> the
>>> 75 Days of Service, when there?s a whole group of people there to
>>> support
>>> you and talk through any worries or challenges you might have.
>>>
>>> The author asks us how we move from passively skimming headlines to
>>> caring
>>> to actively doing. This is a question I?ve wondered about for some time,
>>> and
>>> it?s why I love what we?re doing with the 75 Days of Service because
>>> we?re
>>> not just talking about what issues are important to us and what we?d like
>>> to
>>> do about them or what we wish someone else would do about them; we?re
>>> actually making plans and taking an active role in giving back to our
>>> communities.
>>>
>>> The following passage from the article resonated with me the most: ?By
>>> living fully?not turning away from things that are different, complex,
>>> messy, intense?you will find how you are capable of doing meaningful
>>> work.?
>>> This speaks to me not just as a person who wants to get more involved in
>>> service, not just as a blind person, but as a person in general, and I
>>> think
>>> it?s something we can all take to heart in our lives.

>>> What?s the Most Important Question in Your Life?
>>> Posted by Jessica on Apr 13, 2015 in Uncategorized | 0 comments
>>> What?s the Most Important Question in Your Life?
>>>
>>> Aaron Schwartz, the famous programmer and internet activist who died
>>> before
>>> his time, said: ?You should be asking yourself all the time what is the
>>> most
>>> important thing in the world I could be working on right now, and if you
>>> are
>>> not working on that, why aren?t you??
>>> These days in Silicon Valley, I meet people who are smart and working at
>>> a
>>> company ?changing the world.? I don?t want to rain on their parade, but
>>> developing another instant messaging service is not ?changing the
>>> world.?
>>> It?s not that these people are intentionally neglecting the larger issues
>>> in
>>> the world, or that they don?t care.
>>> I believe it?s because some people don?t yet know what is important to
>>> them
>>> and what they can do about it.
>>> How do you move from skimming news headlines to caring about the issue?
>>> And
>>> then from caring about the issue to wanting to make it what you want to
>>> spend your time working on?
>>> How to Find Yourself and Change the World
>>> I encourage people to take this into their own hands. To learn about
>>> yourself and what you are capable of. Take the initiative and open
>>> yourself
>>> up to the broader experiences of the world?to experiences that might be
>>> new,
>>> exciting, emotional, and sometimes physically uncomfortable.
>>> One of the most meaningful experiences of my life was volunteering at a
>>> human rights nonprofit and interviewing refugees in a camp on the
>>> Thai-Burma
>>> border. There was no running water, no electricity. We sat on the bare
>>> floors of their thatched huts. I listened to their stories of their
>>> lives.
>>> Family members would pick up the guitar and take turns singing
>>> traditional
>>> folk songs.
>>> I came back to my last year of Harvard Law School and felt no temptation
>>> to
>>> go to the recruiting events of the big law firms. I was one of the very
>>> few
>>> who did not have a job upon graduation. I continued to write and
>>> eventually fell into journalism. I was so grateful that I had found
>>> something that was important to me, that I could call my work.
>>> To truly realize what is important to you and what you can do to make a
>>> difference?learn by doing. Don?t worry if you don?t know enough yet
>>> about
>>> the issue?you will learn it by doing it.
>>> Be Curious?Say Yes
>>> If you are invited to visit a low-income neighborhood in Oakland and
>>> tour
>>> their community garden, do it. Go and don?t be afraid to talk to the
>>> people
>>> who live there and learn about their community. If the Rainforest Action
>>> Network has a public talk about orangutans in the Sumatran rainforest
>>> threatened by loggers, go listen and meet the people involved. If there?s
>>> a
>>> screening of Power of Two, an award-winning movie about cystic fibrosis
>>> and
>>> discussion with the producers, go to the movie and stay for the
>>> discussion.
>>> If your local open space preserve has a family day with guided
>>> bird-watching
>>> tours, go check it out and hear from the guides about how they are
>>> building
>>> more public access trails.
>>> There are so many public events open to all who are curious to learn
>>> more
>>> about social causes. Say yes to these invitations.
>>> Volunteer with a Nonprofit
>>> Do you have an interest in children? Volunteer with CASA, a national
>>> nonprofit, to visit a young child near you who is placed in foster home.
>>> Get
>>> a huge smile from your foster-child when you offer to take them to see a
>>> movie.
>>> Do you want to learn more about health on the frontlines? Volunteer at
>>> the
>>> local free clinic that serves the poorest of our society?help people get
>>> screened for high blood pressure or get training to be a peer counsellor
>>> to
>>> at-risk young people.
>>> Do you have skills such as writing or design? You?ve got a valuable
>>> skill
>>> that almost any nonprofit could use. Take action and call them up even
>>> if
>>> you don?t see a volunteer posting. Ask them if you could help them
>>> with
>>> their email newsletter, brochure for an upcoming fundraiser, or their
>>> website.
>>> Bono was asked about how he became an activist for Africa. Once I
>>> visited
>>> Africa, he said, ?I saw it, I heard it and I felt it.?
>>> You will gain knowledge and confidence. By living fully?not turning away
>>> from things that are different, complex, messy, intense?you will find
>>> how
>>> you are capable of doing meaningful work.
>>> Keep asking yourself along the way: ?What is the most important thing in
>>> the
>>> world I could be working on right now, and if I?m not, why aren?t I??
