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.
