Greetings, the below release describes an extremely tragic event which took place in our community today. We appreciate your thoughts and prayers as we go forward. This story has been all over the local news and bloggers have already been making many ridiculous statements about the blind.
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
COLORADO CENTER FOR THE BLIND EXPRESSES GREAT SORROW
AFTER TRAGIC ACCIDENT
December 17, 2010 Littleton, Colorado
Contact: Julie Deden, Executive Director, 303 653-5987
Early this morning, three students of the Colorado Center for the Blind were waiting at a Regional Transportation District bus stop at the Southeast corner of West Mineral Avenue and South Utica Drive in Littleton when a driver, headed north on Utica, lost control of her car as she was turning east onto Mineral and then hit the three students, one man and two women. Emergency personnel rushed the three to Littleton Hospital. The man later died due to massive injuries. The women are in stable condition and being treated. The Colorado Center for the Blind is not at liberty to release the names of the students or further personal information at this time while family members and loved ones are being contacted.
"The students and staff of the CCB are in great shock and grieving," says Julie Deden, Executive Director of the CCB. "Our love, prayers, and tremendous sorrow go out to the family and friends of the student we have lost and we are praying hard for the two women still in the hospital," continued Deden. "At the Center, we are first and foremost a family and we will love and support one another through this great tragedy which has struck us at a time of year normally reserved for joy and celebration," reflected Deden.
The three students were on their way to the Center for its annual holiday party immediately prior to a winter break. The CCB has requested assistance from Littleton city officials, and grief counselors are present at the Center to help staff and students address this tremendous tragedy. "We will do whatever is necessary to help our family through this difficult time," said Diane McGeorge, Chairperson of the CCB's Board of Directors and herself a former Executive Director of the Center.
According to the Littleton Police, icy road conditions played a significant role in today's accident. "Our students' blindness had absolutely nothing to do with the accident," said McGeorge. "Our entire community is reeling from this terrible incident," said Scott LaBarre, President of the National Federation of the Blind of Colorado, the Center's chief sponsor. "These students were simply waiting for their bus like hundreds of thousands of other metro commuters on their way to work or school. The breadth and scope of this tragedy cannot be expressed in words," commented LaBarre.
For more information about the CCB, go to www.cocenter.org or call 303 778-1130. The Center has been offering independence training to blind youth, adults, and seniors since 1988.

Dear state and chapter president:
I'm writing to ask your help with an exciting new venture, the NFB/eBay
Entrepreneurs project.
The December Monitor carried an article introducing two classes we will
be holding in late February, the NFB/eBay Entrepreneur and the Train the
Trainers classes. The link to the article is
http://www.nfb.org/images/nfb/Publications/bm/bm10/bm1011/bm101109.htm
The audio link is:

aining_Our_Way_To_Business_Opportunities.mp3
We have had a lot of interest from blind people across the country, and
from some individuals outside of the United States. But we need to make
sure that any blind person who might be interested is aware that this
opportunity exists.
Would you please talk to the blind people in your area and invite them
to call or write if becoming an entrepreneur on eBay interests them.
I'm attaching the application package for the project, consisting of
three files. It includes both applications and a list of frequently
asked questions with links to resource material. Please feel free to
pass them on.
Thankyou for all you do. I realize this is one more task for very busy
people at an extremely busy time of year, so I'm doubly grateful foryour
assistance.
Cordially,
Mary Ellen Gabias
