[il-talk] {Disarmed} Fwd: Free vet care for guide dogs and audio-described theatre performances in this Making Sense Update

[Gregory D.Rosenberg]

Not so good morning,

My pain level is extremely high today and has been very high over the course of the last few days. I am afraid that I will miss the State Convention again this year. You can either offer my payment to another member or simply keep it in the bank for our chapter. I truly was hoping to see many friends that I have missed seeing since the last convention I was at. God bless everyone and have a spectacular event this year.

The National Federation of the Blind knows that blindness is not the characteristic that defines you or your future. Every day we raise the expectations of blind people, because low expectations create obstacles between blind people and our dreams. You can have the life you want; blindness is not what holds you back.
