"The real problem of blindness is not the loss of eyesight.  The 
real problem is the misunderstanding and lack of education that 
exists.  If a blind person has the proper training and 
opportunity, blindness can be reduced to a mere physical 
nuisance."
-- Kenneth Jernigan (President, National Federation of the Blind, 
1968-1986

 The I C.A.N.  Foundation helps blind and visually impaired youth 
in Maryland say "I can," by empowering them through providing 
assistive technology and scholarships to camps and conventions 
which help them be equal with their sighted peers.  For more

Subject: [nabs-l] Reminder conference call

Hello, everyone!

 The Community Service Group will have our monthly conference 
call on
 Sunday, December 4.  We will be discussing "The Cost of a Gift," 
one of
 the NFB's most important landmark speeches and how it ties in 
with
 Federation philosophy and community service.  The speech is 
attached to this email for those who would like to read it.

 Why is it important for us, as bind people, to serve our 
community?

 Why is service in general important?

 What do we hope to teach the sighted about blindness through 
community
 service?

 How does this speech shape or influence our philosophies about 
service?

 If you are passionate about serving your community, and are 
looking to
 chat with people who share similar thoughts and feelings about
 community service, this call is for you! The call-in information 
is below:

 Where: (218) 339-3600 passcode 808277
 When: Sunday, December 4 at 5 PT
 Topic: "The Cost of a Gift," and its impact on community service 
and
 Federation philosophy

 Hope to see you there!
