[nabs-l] DSB meeting, a waste of time!

Hi,
As I said people of all kinds go to LWSB and other training centers.
If you don't want to be involved in a particular group, just tell those
students and they'll back off.
I can say the same about NFB. Our state center is now run by a federationist
and events for NFB are advertised there. Yet many students do not want to
join. Some check it out and don't join; others ignore the idea.
Unless you go to an nfb center, you will find blind people with varying
acceptance of blindness and different philosophies.
Some join groups; others do not; and most blind people are unaffiliated. But
Joshua, if you only hang out with people in nfb, you shut out many other
people. I'm friends with those in the other consumer group and those that
are in no group.

Me too! I love the Federation's philosophy about blindness, and
am glad I found the NFB!

Merry Christmas and a happy and prosperous new year!

I don't want to say the guy's name on here, because he may join
this
list, and the NFB, and I don't want to have his name archived
here.
I will say this.
While I was there, he tried to recruit me to join the ACB.
I wasn't interested in joining, but I researched them.
I didn't like what I found, but this was how I found the NFB.
I'm glad I found the NFB, and I'm glad I'm a part of it, and I'm
glad
I didn't join the other group.
Blessings, Joshua

Why would the NFB have a strong presence there if we don't
sponsor/support the place? And one CCB (California Council of

Blind) member doesn't constitute a strong presence by the ACB.
If it was Mitch Pomerantz or someone like that, maybe, but this
person was a rank-and-file member, right?

Why didn't the NFB have a strong presence there, in 2007, when I
was
enrolled there?
Thanks, Joshua

Lions World Services for the Blind is now World Services for
the
Blind to
better reflect its' mission and to allow other organizations
including the
Lions Club.
Also the World Services for the Blind is not sponsored by the
ACB or the
NFB. Just because a member of the California Council of the
Blind happen to
attend there, does not mean that ACB sponsores it or supports
it. There have
many NFB members who attend World Services for the Blind and
local chapter
of the NFB has started having its' meetings there.

I seldom think about my limitations, and they never make me
sad.
Perhaps
there is just a touch of yearning at times; but it is vague,

Lions World Services for the Blind,
www.lwsb.org.
They're sponsored by the Lions Club, (hence their name.)
Also, from what I gather, because of my time there, is that
they're
sponsored by the ACB, because the California Council of the
Blind sent
one of their members, to be a trainee at the center.

They're part of the state.
I will say this, since you brought up Vocational
Rehab.
When I still had them, they were the ones that forced
me to
attend LWSB.
I wonder what the DSB would think about funding me, if
I wanted
to go to LCB.

I didn't have issues with VR, because I didn't
use them much.
I only used the Division of Services for the
Blind, from the
Department of Social Services.
The VR Counselor retired, and now we don't have
VR in my state.
The Department of Services for the Blind, (of
the DSS,) is very
slow
in getting the adequate help that I need.
They won't even supply the things I need in
class.
These are the people I've been complaining about
on this list,
for months!

Joshua,
I'm confused. You met at your college or
were supposed to. But
is this
counselor your disability counselor from school
or the state
agency?
If you mean the vr agency, I sympathize with you
because I don't
get much
from my counselor either. All of them are
horrible about
communication.

All of the DSB people have been this way.
I'm tired of dealing with them!

Hi, it's Joshua Lester.
I'm tired of these slow DSB people!
I went to the college, to meet Ms Audrey, (my
counselor,) but
she
didn't show up!
She called us, at the last minute, and told us
that she went to
the
campus, 30 miles away.
She Googled our college, and only saw that one,
and said she
never
thought that they'd have a campus so close to
it.
The woman also misunderstood what we said, but
instead of
calling
our
cell phone, she called our home phone.
She thought we said to meet us at the
"Community," center.
She was supposed to meet us at the student
center.
She should have called our cell, so we could
clear it up.
Anyway, we're about to have her E-mail the staff
members, that
she
needed to meet with.
On another note, I have my Spring schedule.
I have a monday, and wednesday class, from
6:30/9:20, wich will
keep
me out of church.
This has been a bad day!
Blessings, Joshua
