Hello Monica,
 
Dr. Fran Apfel is the director of teh disabilities center at NCC and is the 
 nicest person she is located in room 209 on the west campus.  Here is her  
email address _FApfel at ncc.commnet.edu_ (mailto:FApfel at ncc.commnet.edu) . I 
also  want to give you FFB Foundation for Fighting Blindness they have 
started a  Westchester/Fairfield chapter and in White Plains a lot, but go 
throughout the  area up to Greenwich. The contact too is Jaine and her email is 
eal. he  said.   
College is mcuh better now then it was when I went to school for visually  
impaired people the disability centers are much more equiped they have much 
more  accessabilities eal. he said.

I recently consulted for a few girls and they had vision impairments and  
said the colleges that they visited in some rural areas were not equiped to 
deal  with people with disabilities. One is going to Columbia University in 
NYC  and is giong into an area in medial.  Another girl got into Southern CT  
State is going to go for teaching and she ws very excited about the 
services  they offer for the disabled, but for those with visual issues.  I had 
goen  there and even then they were very good.  The third girl is going to the  
Boston University and wants to go into law.  I'll see if I can contact them 
 and if they can talk to Kate.
 
Monica I just want to say wow to you on how amazing you are in all that you 
 do for yoru daugther truly impressive and I just want to say how amazing 
you are  and how lucky Kate is to have you. Dr. Apfel was great with me two 
years  ago so definatley contact her.  Lots of luck and take care.  Elizabeth

Hi,
My daughter kate, a junior at greenwich high, asked me to email and ask  
for advice from any college or post college visually impaired or blind  
students to help her in her decision cane or dog for college? She is  conflicted 
on the responsibilities of a dog during college. She has spoken to  four 
college students already that use cane so now she needs the dog side.  Only kids 
please who have been to college, or have just graduated. Dog or cane  for 
college is the question and why. Any help would be great!

Good morning all:
 
First let me apologize for my paranoia, and  now that I have been assured 
that my updates are NFB related by both  Chris & Beth, and both encouraged me 
to continue I feel obligated  to inform you all that thanks to 2 of my 
brothers a good friend of  mine and a gentleman I met in the stop & shop bottle 
room I  collected $10.65 today which if I'm not mistaken should bring my 
total  to $64.05. So let's get out there folks, I want to hear if anyone else  
has turned in any bottles or is anyone else even participating I know  that 
several of my chapter members are bringing bottles and cans to  our meeting 
sat 11/19/2011. But I'm not hearing anything from any  other chapters lets 
go guys, and for those of you who think can escape  me don't be fooled. (just 
messing with you of course) but this is  important.
 
Take care folks
 
Rich
