-- 
nfb.org or +1 410-659-9314! The National Federation of the Blind knows
that blindness is not the characteristic that defines blind people or
their future. Every day we raise the expectations of and for blind
people, because low expectations create obstacles between blind people
and our dreams. We can live the lives we want; blindness is not what
holds us back. Please join us in our work by becoming a member,
attending an event, sharing this newsletter, or supporting our
programs. my #is 301-675-9657
