Dr. Grant was nominated for the Nobel Peace Prize; she did not win one I
think.

Good morning - The NFB of Kansas needs YOU to help make a positive
difference in the lives of our aging Kansan's losing their vision with hope
and encouragement that they, too, can live the life they want".

 

I'm looking for 10 excellent NFB of Kansas members to show up at Saturday's
convention lunch to get things started.this means all of you should R.S.V.P.
because NFB of Kansas members have always  been there when something
meaningful needed to be done. 

If you want to be reminded what a difference  the NFB can make in someone's
life, please read about Dr. Isabelle Grant in the October Braille Monitor.
She attributes her quest for helping the blind around the world from her
contact with the federation. In 1972 she won a Nobel Peace Prize! Maybe we
as senior's may not have a "bucket list" to travel around the world in an
effort to "change what it means to be blind", but we do want to remain as
independent as possible and enjoy our lives. The positive message of the
National Federation of the Blind can help do this and you can be the one
that helps pass it forward. 

 

Now, why have I attached the words to the Bob Dillon song, "Times, They are
a Changin"? Because his words and songs spoke to many of us in our youth.and
here we are now senior's and his words still resinate. He, like Dr. Grant,
will recieve a Nobel Peace Prize this year for literature. Though not blind,
Dillon sang about the need for change and that it will happen.the NFB has
always said things for the blind needed change, that is improvement in all
aspects of our lives- that we no longer should accept second class
treatment.

 

So for those of you who have hung in here for this whole note, here's
something for you:

1. a "peacesymbol" necklace - representing our on ongoing efforts to help
move lives forward in the positive NFB way as "the times, they are a
changin'", and

2. a chance to win a $50. gift certificate to the Olive Garden! But only if
we get 10  member's to get this division started Saturday, November 5th. So
bring your $5. and energy to make a positive difference in the lives of the
blind seniors of Kansas!

Come gather 'round people
Wherever you roam
And admit that the waters
Around you have grown
And accept it that soon
You'll be drenched to the bone
If your time to you
Is worth savin'
Then you better start swimmin'
Or you'll sink like a stone
For the times they are a-changin'.

Come writers and critics
Who prophesize with your pen
And keep your eyes wide
The chance won't come again
And don't speak too soon
For the wheel's still in spin
And there's no tellin' who
That it's namin'
For the loser now
Will be later to win
For the times they are a-changin'.

Come senators, congressmen
Please heed the call
Don't stand in the doorway
Don't block up the hall
For he that gets hurt
Will be he who has stalled
There's a battle outside
And it is ragin'
It'll soon shake your windows
And rattle your walls
For the times they are a-changin'.

Come mothers and fathers
Throughout the land
And don't criticize
What you can't understand
Your sons and your daughters
Are beyond your command
Your old road is
Rapidly agin'
Please get out of the new one
If you can't lend your hand
For the times they are a-changin'.

The line it is drawn
The curse it is cast
The slow one now
Will later be fast
As the present now
Will later be past
The order is
Rapidly fadin'
And the first one now
Will later be last
For the times they are a-changin'.

Songwriters: Bob Dylan
