[Ct-nfb] Just became an NFB member

[Richard McGaffin]

Good morning Adriana,
Welcome to our family, I wish to add my congratulations along with Justin's, allow me to introduce myself my name is Rich McGaffin, although I've taken a sort of step back from the NFB of CT, I still am a strong believer in the dream. I will always be a Federationist in spirit if not in a physically.

I am some what different than your average member, I dance to my own beat and some times I maybe a bit of a renegade. But the NFB has taught me a lot.

I grew up in a large family and there fore I wasn't sheltered. Constant tests by siblings and friends to push myself beyond most limits that we're supposed to live by. 

However I've learned from my Federation family that unity and the willingness to stand together, for a cause, has made me a better man, or at least I hope it has.
be cool & good luck if you should need my help in anyway, please feel free to e-mail me, or you can find me on face book. 

Congrats & welcome
Rich

 Dear Adriana,



Congratulations on becoming a member of the National Federation of the Blind. With 50,000 members, the National Federation of the Blind is working to raise the expectations of blind people because low expectations create barriers between blind people and our dreams. The wealth of this organization is not in any bank account; it is in the talent and heart of our membership. It is impossible to give the Federation more than I gain from my work here because it always comes back to me exponentially. Together with love, hope, and determination, we are transforming dreams into reality. 

Again, congratulations on becoming a member of the national Federation of the Blind.

Yours,

Justin Salisbury

Hi all,

  I guess some of you know me from previous emails, but wanted to let  you know that I just became an NFB member at large. Even though I live  far away, the feeling is awesome and I hope to be doing some great  things for the organization. For those that do not know much about me,  my name is Adrijana  and I am a blind lady of 37 and a teacher of  English from Macedonia. I would be glad to connect to NFB members from  other parts of the world and exchange ideas and make friends at the  same time, so if you or others you know would like to email me, my  email address is:
adrijana.prokopenko at gmail.com
