[GreaterPhilly] The Blind Social Club Gets Funding

[Simone Cooper]

Hello everyone,

I wanted to share this great news with my National Federation of the Blind
community.

For those who may not know, I am the coordinator for The Blind Social Club,
which is a group for blind and visually impaired adults to come together to
socialize with their peers and engage in various activities in
Philadelphia. Recently I was nominated for a financial award for my work
with the group and I am truly excited to announce that I have been awarded
one of the inaugural Sowing Excellence Awards for The Blind Social Club.
The Sowing Excellence Awards, a program of the U.S. Botanic Garden (USBG)
and the IDEA Center for Public Gardens, aims to recognize and support the
growth of plant-centered activities that tap into the potential of
under-resourced, underrepresented communities and organizations and expand
the availability of funds to those who previously may have been excluded
from similar awards/funding.

I put a lot of time and effort into the events I plan for the group so my
peers can have a great experience. I am so grateful for being nominated and
recognized for the work I do with The Blind Social Club. Thank you to
everyone who supports my work, especially to those who attend these events
 and shares the information with others.

With this award, I'll be able to plan some exciting events for the end of
the summer, so make sure you're on the email list to receive the
invitations. For more information about The Blind Social Club events,
please email me at blindsocialclub at gmail.com or call me at 215-868-4292.

Thank you for allowing me to share this acknowledgement.


Ward regards,
Simone Cooper
Greater Philadelphia Chapter, Member
