<p class="MsoNormal">Hi everyone. I hope your Thanksgiving break was refreshing and spent in the company of friends and loved ones. Generally, I write to you wearing my Louisiana Center for the Blind hat. But this afternoon, I am writing on behalf of the National
Federation of the Blind. Most of you know that the Center and the Federation are inextricably linked, and were it not for the NFB, the Center would not exist.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">If the work we have done has added value to your life or to that of someone you care about, please consider donating to the Federation on #GivingTuesday. Simply visit
<a href="http://www.nfb.org/donate2016">www.nfb.org/donate2016</a>. Thank you.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I will be sending out another email this week by way of reminding you about Braille letters from Santa as well as discussing our national and state scholarship offerings. Wishing each of you a good evening!<o:p></o:p></p>
