color:#1F497D'>I am new to the list and have been reading through the many
posts others have contributed. Actually, the Chapter in which I am President
will be hosting a Community Recourse Day for Blind and Low Vision Persons on
Saturday. We have confirmations from at least 25 services that our guests need
to know about. They include educational and rehabilitation groups, Voter
Registration and voting demos, fire, safety, FEMA, and the local Rehab agency.
In fact, the state library service is coming as well as a representative from
the NFB Newsline, not to mention local elected officials who have RSVP’d. Just
today, I got the confirming email that a Navigator from the Affordable Healthcare
Act will be in attendance assisting persons with information to sign up. We are
expecting over 150 persons and expect a good outcome.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

blind or have a measure of vision loss. That number greatly outweighs the 57
persons in our Chapter. Those folk and caregivers and persons who just want to
know are who we are reaching out to.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

Day, sponsored by USA WEEKEND Magazine and Points of Light. The Web site says
that it is the largest national day of community service. I had never heard of
this until today. I think it’s pretty awesome. If you’re planning to participate
in a service project tomorrow, let us know what you’re going to do, or share
your experiences afterward.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
