[DSM-Iowa] Fwd: [Home-on-the-Range] [Chapter-Presidents] Special Invitation for all to join the Sending Our Support and Love (SOS) to Joe Ruffalo Event

Wed Jan 6 13:56:20 UTC 2021

Joe Ruffalo is the much loved past president of the New Jersey affiliate of the National Federation of the Blind of New Jersey. Under his leadership, New Jersey enjoyed much growth, I think, and innovative ideas.
Joe was to have been the rep for the Kansas affiliate’s convention, but he has been gravely ill. He is not able to take calls or E-mails. Tomorrow the below special event has been planned to show appreciation for Joe the person and the leader.

> Greetings all,
>  
> When you care about someone who is ill and you feel powerless to do anything to comfort or heal them, sometimes it's important just to "be" there for them as well as for yourself and for others who feel the same way. A virtual gathering keeps us all safe while bringing us together.
>  
> Join us, members of Joe Ruffalo's NFB family and friends for a time of Sending Our Love and Support to him. There will be a few speakers, a brief time of guided meditation, music from Joe's sister Jane Degenshein and suggestions for sending Joe some healing thoughts. 
>  
> We'll be recording the event so Joe can listen himself to the love coming from our virtual space on Zoom. We thank the leadership of the National Federation of the Blind in Baltimore for making a larger Zoom platform available for this important event so Joe's expansive circle of friends from across the US can be there, too.
>  
> The SOS for Joe (Sending Our Support and Love) for Joe is set for Thursday, January 14 from 6:30 to 8 p.m. Eastern. Please share this invitation far and wide. Zoom details after my signature block.
>  
> Warmly,
