Good morning NFBK federationists - this morning I had the time to listen to
the May Monitor and found a couple of items to reflect on...a recipe that
reflects and encompasses the NFB was once again shared, and goes a bit like
this:

Ingredients:
1 cup each:
desire, determination, positive attitude,  involvement,  philosophy and
history

Pour all into a chapter and/or division
Serve to all that want to live  the life they want.
Serves the entire affiliate.

With this reminder of what we are all about, the South Central Chapter
presented a wonderful and unexpected gift to the Envision Early Childhood
Development Center yesterday.  In fact we made a little production of this
presentation during the Envision's monthly Adult Support Group in order to
explain the both the importance of the gift and our commitment to our blind
children's learning foundations. 

The gift is the awesome large and sturdy map-puzzle of the United States.
This magnificent colorful, topographied map will help the children better
understand the relationships of size, location and the historical challenges
of how our country was settled.  It will be of little surprise to those of
us that knew Dr. Kenneth Jernagan our second outstanding President and
leader fostering the NFB philosophy and raising the bar of high expectations
for the blind, as the designer of this magnificent learning tool. 

Affiliate president Tom Page, Chapter president Serena Nickell, Chapter Vice
president Emily Schlanker, and Jack and Dianne Hemphill had the opportunity
to both talk about why we wanted to give the Child Center this gift but also
were able to talk a little about the NFB and how it changes lives.  We are
looking forward to co-partnering with Envision on a BELL program sometime in
the future. 
If you're up to it, I want to next talk a little aboutDick Davis's article
about how some think of the disabled who also work are somewhat like"talking
dogs". Dianne _______________________________________________
