Greetings Students and Virginia Federationists

 

With the fall season swiftly approaching, the season of advocacy is upon us
once again. Yes, the month in which the nation's blind raise awareness of
our effectiveness and presence in local and national communities is finally
returning. October is national meet the blind month and like our fellow
affiliates, the National Federation of the Blind of Virginia is hard at work
in preparing their local events to marry awareness and camaraderie between
chapters, friends, and family. Last year, the Virginia Association of Blind
Students executed their first meet the blind month activity with "Bowl with
the Blind, "to overwhelming success and support. As a sign of future great
annual events to come, VABS will be returning with this annual culminating
