As members of the National Federation of the Blind, we have a strong foundation in an organization that believes in and supports the dreams and abilities of blind people; however, there are families who are new to our movement or who might have just found us, and they need a network of people who truly care about them and their children.</span><o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal style='margin-left:.25in'><span style='font-family:"Arial",sans-serif'>As president of the NOPBC, I want to welcome you to a Zoom meeting on Monday, August 10, at 8:00 p.m., Eastern, as we talk about the role that you all have in helping us reach, support, and nurture these families across the country. Join us as we have a time for Q&A and to talk about real issues in building parent involvement, as well as strategies to help build up the future blind leaders in our movement.
