Subject: [NABS-L] NFBMD 2022 Fall Donation Drive - Win a Free Cruise!
Message-ID: <016f01d8d687$fd66ee60$f834cb20$@gmail.com>

The National Federation of the Blind of Maryland is holding a Fall donation
drive to support our work. 

>From December 3 to 10, 2023, NFBMD will be hosting Blind Cruising 2023,
which is a 7-night cruise on the Carnival Legend to the Eastern Caribbean.
Individuals may book passage directly with our travel agent, with a portion
of cabin costs going to NFBMD. Those interested may find information at
http://www.nfbmd.org/blindcruising.

Additionally, we will hold a cruise drawing at the NFBMD Convention Banquet
on November 12, 2022. The winner will receive a balcony cabin for two on the
Carnival Legend for the sailing scheduled to depart Baltimore from December
3 - 10, 2023, which is the sailing where Blind Cruising 2023 will take
place.  Individuals do not need to be present to win.

The rules for the drawing are as follows:
1. For each $20 donated, the donor will receive one chance. For example, if
the donor contributes $100, that equates to 5 chances.
2. The donor must expressly state that they wish to have their name placed
in the cruise drawing.
3. Donations must be made separately from any door prize contributions,
convention registration donations, or theater/Hamilton donations.
4. Donations must be received on or before November 5, 2022.

Individuals may make donations using the PayPal button located at
https://nfbmd.org/DonationDrive

or by mailing checks to:

Hi Lizzy,

I used to interview people all the time when I worked for NFB. My
favorite way of interviewing someone was to use my Braille Note. I
would paste the questions in a document, transfer the document onto my
note taker, and write as they answered below the appropriate question.
I did phone interviews, but I always preferred using my note taker so
that I wasn't listening to a screen reader and the person I was
interviewing at the same time. While you are working on your Braille,
you could use a computer. Mostly taking notes on an interview is about
typing, not reading. Just keep an earbud in one ear, face the laptop
away or slightly close the lid, and look at your client while you
type. Then later you can correct any errors. That way you can listen
to each question, ask it, and then type away as they are talking.

Hope this helps.

Julie

This is an amazing question. I have worked a job at a human services org for 1.5 years now. I'm also getting my Doctorate in clinical psych. I only bring those two things up because intake/ interviewing is a pretty big part of what I do and will do in the future :) 
I use my laptop for this, preferrably with the questionnaire in a word doc. I just type notes next to or below each question. As for being attentive, I focus on my body language, still looking toward the client, having an open facial expression, etc. It's very normal in my program to give each other feedback on these things, whether blind or sighted. So that is definitely something you can ask someone, how did I appear in that practice interview? I don't record my interviews for obvious confidentiality reasons, which is why note taking, as you said, is a huge part of it. Happy to chat more. Good luck.

One more point I forgot to make is that this definitely becomes second nature with practice. It can help to try to take notes on a conversation outside of the interviewing context. I know I have done this for the testing part of my classes. I'm sure a friend or someone would not mind just making small talk or even answering a fake questionnaire with you. You'll get good at listening and jotting down answers while remaining engaged.

> Hello,
> I received  the below information from our Director Peter Dawson and am passing it along for your review. It is time sensitive so please act fast if you have any student or graduate in mind that may be able to pursue this.
> Attached is additional information. Below is Mr. Dawson’s review. Please see the attached excellent internship opportunities with the Federal Government.  Note the application deadline coming up quickly on October 13. This application happens only once a year. Any interested students or graduates should apply as early as possible as the Federal Government process in general is thorough and takes some time and effort to complete. However, the effort is worth it. Many apply for these, and I would encourage applicants to do a professional job on their application.
>  
> This program has been one of the most impressive programs that I have seen work for both BFS and VRED college students and graduates to obtain these internships and to be able to prove themselves and determine whether the job is the right fit for them.  Many of these have led to permanent outstanding jobs with excellent pay and benefits. Most allow opportunities for promotion within the agency that hired them as well as with other Federal agencies throughout the country. Another critically important piece of these internships is that if the agency providing the internship would like to hire the student or graduate after the internship is completed, the employer can do so through a “Schedule A”  hiring process without going through the regular competitive process usually required for these jobs. As many of you know, these jobs are very competitive in general. Therefore, the ability to obtain an internship because the employer is intentionally seeking people with disabilities out and to then be able to hire the intern through the Schedule A non-competitive process is an unusual opportunity that should not be ignored.

Hi Cricket,



Thank you for posting this internship offer on here. Unfortunately, the guy indicates that we should "View the attached document" to get more info, but I'm not seeing any attachments in this email.



However, he did say this internship is with the federal government, which would actually fit with my current endeavors. I'm currently a graduate student pursuing my master's in translation and interpreting from NYU, and there are actually a lot of interpreters working in federal governments all around the world. Unfortunately, it's not clear to me at this point what kinds of jobs are provided to interns just from this description alone. Are you able to reach out to this guy and ask if they're going to be training language translators/interpreters? If so, then I might definitely consider applying for this internship. It sounds very interesting.



Feel free to let me know what he tells you once you've reached out to him, either on this list or responding to me privately.



Thanks for your attention and understanding.



All the best,

Please see the attached excellent internship opportunities with the Federal Government.  Note the application deadline coming up quickly on October 13. This application happens only once a year. Any interested students or graduates should apply as early as possible as the Federal Government process in general is thorough and takes some time and effort to complete. However, the effort is worth it. Many apply for these, and I would encourage applicants to do a professional job on their application.

Most allow opportunities for promotion within the agency that hired them as well as with other Federal agencies throughout the country. Another critically important piece of these internships is that if the agency providing the internship would like to hire the student or graduate after the internship is completed, the employer can do so through a “Schedule A”  hiring process without going through the regular competitive process usually required for these jobs. As many of you know, these jobs are very competitive in general. Therefore, the ability to obtain an internship because the employer is intentionally seeking people with disabilities out and to then be able to hire the intern through the Schedule A non-competitive process is an unusual opportunity that should not be ignored.

Message-ID: <7B0D2868-22D4-4CBE-89F7-10EF8C3E7C33@gmail.com>

Is there anyone who is currently blind or visually impaired that is studying Kinesiology? I have a friend that wants to study Kinesiology but he is being discouraged to continue with his studies because he's not getting the accommodations he needs, and he doesn't believe a blind or visually impaired person can study Kinesiology.
I would love to talk to you if you are studying Kinesiology and put you in touch with my friend. Please reach out to me off the mailing list if you can help me.

I did not see a way in your message to send you an email off list. I am
currently earning two associates of applied sciences. One is called sports
and fitness management and the other is called health and wellness
coaching/promotion. For my sports and fitness management degree I need to
take kinesiology one and two. I would love to speak to your friend because
I definitely say that it is possible. I have not met many other blind
students that are studying in the fitness field so this is very exciting to
me. Feel free to text me or have your friend text me with my number that
should be in the signature.

Hello Asia,
My name is Aaron Espinoza. I think I met you before on the Ohio calls.
Thank you for replying to my message. I passed your number along to my friend. His name is Jerry. He lives in California. I got another reply from someone off the list so that should be exciting for you. Let me ask them if it’s OK if I pass along their information to you to put you in touch with them.

Message-ID: <000a01d8da8c$a6f3ecf0$f4dbc6d0$@gmail.com>

Happy Blind Equality Achievement Month NABS Friends!!!!

 

How blessed are we to be in the position where we can affect change at the
state level and promote the independence and achievement of our membership
and blind people nationwide over the next thirty days. All over the country
as you read this, blind people in state affiliates around the country are
working on different ways in which the public can be educated on the great
work the Federation does to increase expectations for blind people and to
ascertain that our access to parts of everyday life, simple and complex, are
made possible. 

This year, the NFB of Michigan is focused on the resurgence of blind youth,
families and parents in our affiliate. This is being done through the active
work we've done to allocate funding for programs for families to attend
during the fall, our programming at our state convention and the creation of
our youth planning committee, which will work on future projects for the
year. This month, however, our fundraising committee and state affiliate
wants YOUR help! The NFB of Michigan's Six Dot Stride fundraiser is now live
and we invite you all to sign up to take the stride with blind families as
we turn dreams into realities. The Six Dot Stride is a virtual walk-a-thon
fundraiser where members can sign up to walk for our cause and promote the
fundraiser to their friends for support. This is a virtual fundraiser, which
means we don't want you accepting money from donors, rather have donors
pledge their donations using the Rally Up platform link that we are
providing. Our state website has a landing page that explains the rules of
the fundraiser, the cause for the campaign and the rules for how you or your
donors can qualify for prizes. Remember, you will NOT be considered for a
prize if you do not participate, so putting some skin in the game will be
the only way you will have a shot. Speaking of prizes, let's talk about
them:

*	RayCon Wireless Bluetooth Earbuds (Prize for Highest Donor Pledge)
*	Apple TV 4k Streaming Device (Prize for NFB Member that Raises the
Most in Pledges)
*	$50 Visa Gift Card (Prize Awarded to Two Members that Walk the Most
on November 5)

 

Remember, to be a part of the fun, you must be a part of the fun. So, when
you look at the prizes, know that there are some rules associated with them.
Participants must sign up to promote and take part in the virtual walkathon
by October 15 to be considered for a prize, but the donor that sends in the
highest pledge will be determined on November 5 and have their ear buds
shipped to them.

Hey hey NABS Nation!

I just saw this email in a different mailing list and thought I'd share it
with you. In one of my classes I'm taking this semester, I was given an
article and I was compare identity-first language to person-first language.
Then I had to identify which one I use the most. Well, this survey take
about 5 minutes to complete, and it would be awesome for y'all to complete.
See you all sometime soon!

We are working on a research project that attempts to gather evidence on
the preference between identity-first and person-first language by and for
disabled people. As part of this project, we're conducting an anonymous

Hi all,

I hope everyone is well and is having a good midterm season.
I am writing  to ask for you’alls suggestions.
I am planning to see a friend in november. They live in a little town in
Ohio, I would be   Using Amtrak and would be coming in to Columbus, but
where I need you’all’s  help is, suggesting more accessible ways than
reaching out to friends to take me from Columbus to the little town of
belpre. I learned from my friend and just google maps search that uber
and/or lift do not travel there.

Thanks all,

Nesma

	Hello.  While I'm not familiar with Ohio per say, since Uber and Lyft are not available to
go where you want, you may consider inquiring if there is a local car service in Columbus that
will be willing to drive you there.  These are called Sedan services, limousine services, or
something like that.  I'd suggest using Google Maps to lookup such places before you travel
and then call them to discuss your options.  I'd also suggest looking up businesses in the town
you're going to to see if they might have a service that would be willing to meet you at the
train station.  Failing that, you might be able to use a cab from the train station to get
there.  Again, I suggest calling the local cab company in Columbus before you travel.

	I want to stress that none of these options wil be cheap, but they will probably be
effective.

	A final consideration to think about is how you plan to do your return trip.
Unfortunately, while I'm highly confident you can get to your friend's town via some form of
hired transportation, I'm less sure you can get back.  I have a friend, for example, who lives
in rural Tennessee whom I visit regularly.  It's pretty easy to get there via a hired car, but
it's nearly impossible to get back from there using the same technique.

Hope that helps.

Another way that sometimes works, is that there can be shuttle service, or
van service from an airport to surrounding towns.

Hi Nesma,



I'm not familiar with Ohio at all, but I did visit a blind friend of mine last summer from out of state. He and I both traveled from out of town; I'm from New York and he's from Nebraska, but we actually decided to travel to Houston, Texas because we were curious what it was like down there. I know you're visiting your friend in Ohio where he or she is from, but maybe what you guys could do is stay at a hotel together, so that way you can almost guarantee you'll be together. I know this might sound silly, but this friend I mentioned, along with myself, will be traveling to visit another friend of ours who lives in Los Angeles in January. The three of us will all be staying in the same hotel room even though the mutual friend lives in LA, and I don't think his house is big enough to accommodate more people; he lives with his parents and three younger sisters. I believe his parents will be picking us all up from the airport once we land in California, and then bring us all over to the hotel.



I'm not sure if this sounds feasible for you, but my friend from Nebraska has always dreamed of pursuing a career as a hotel manager, so he's more of an expert of different hotels in different areas. Maybe what you and your friend could do is research different hotels in the area you're staying in, and then discuss your findings and see if you can come up with a hotel you can both agree upon. This really would depend on different factors such as the price as well as the quality of different hotel rooms available. If there are two of you staying in the same room, you can both split the cost so you wouldn't have to waist your money by having to pay the total cost (hotel prices are notoriously expensive nowadays). Plus, the prices are generally cheaper the more people are included on the same reservation, and thus more people to split the cost.



I hope this helps. I think, when you're visiting friends (perhaps especially blind friends, though I'm unsure if yours is blind or sighted), and making sure everyone is always in the same place during the visit, could really avoid all hassle associated with trying to get from one place to the other without the other present.



I hope you have a wonderful time visiting your friend in Ohio.



Thanks,

Hi Lizzy,



I studied abroad in Paris, France a couple of years ago during the spring semester of my junior year, and it has really been a life-changing experience for me.



I'm not really clear on what you're looking for exactly. What do you mean by AIF's and API's? API's are what developers use when designing software, and I have no idea what AIF stands for. Could you clarify this for me and/or anyone else on here who aren't familiar on what you're looking for? If you're asking about services for the visually impaired in Spain or the country you're studying abroad in, I was able to get in contact with the local organization for the blind in Paris, France, and they were able to provide me with orientation and mobility (O and M) to help me navigate on my own around the city, as well as navigate the public transit system. I'm sure the places in Spain where you might be studying have some way of receiving O and M training if that's what you're looking for. I'd recommend reaching out to an organization called Once (pronounced "own-say"), which is the organization for the blind serving Spain and Latin America. I don't have any contact info for them myself, but I'm sure a Google search will help you to reach out to them.



In addition, if you listen to the NABS Now podcast, they did a full episode on studying abroad a couple of years ago. I don't have the link to the episode in front of me, but I'm sure someone from the Board can provide it to you either on or off list. You can also just search and subscribe to NABS Now Podcast wherever you listen to podcasts.



I hope all this helps, and if you have any additional questions about studying abroad, feel free to pose them here or reach out to me off list if you prefer.



Best of luck in your study abroad experience,

Hello. I don't know of a video software that is accessible, but I use gold wave. I could be wrong, but it should edit video files as well. I hope that this helps. Thank you.

Hey Nesma,

I use the audio editing software called Reaper, which does have some capability with videos. However, you have to install some stuff to make it work with jaws and NVDA. You can find that by looking up the reaper accessibility wiki, or you can contact me off-list (cricketbidleman at gmail.com) and I’ll send you the links. 

However, you have to remember that Reaper  is primarily an audio editing software, so the video capability will be somewhat limited.

HTH,
Cricket

The tools you're looking for is specifically osara. You can also find 
their wiki which gives you all the hotkeys. I use reaper for basic video 
creation for my podcast, just to plaster my logo over the audio so that 
youtube will accept it. If you have audio and you're creating videos you 
can set the start and end of individual pictures, but I dont' think 
you'll get any transitions. I'm also pretty sure IMovie is accessible to 
some extent, and that might be more useful if you're using OSX or have 
access.

HTH,

Future social workers! 

This really excites me! I'm currently on my year 4 out of 5, I say 5 as I'm currently on the 5 year program journey to earn both bssw and MSW, currently doing my practicum at the nonprofit agency. If there are anything I could do to foster networking opportunity or to share any helpful  resources, just let me know.

Take care, Seyoon,

The National Federation of the Blind knows that blindness is not the 
characteristic that defines you or your future. Every day we raise the 
expectations of blind people, because low expectations create obstacles 
between blind people and our dreams. You can live the life you want; 
blindness is not what holds you back.

Effective Families. It is a discussion based on the book by Stephen
Covey, *"The
7 Habits of Highly Effective Families: Building a Beautiful Family Culture
in a Turbulent World."*

You can find the book in BARD mobile, Audible, Kindle, and Apple books.



This month, we are focusing on Habit 4 & 5:

*Habit 4: Think Win-Win*

Have an “everyone can win” attitude within your family. Embrace an attitude
of abundance and search for third alternatives so that everyone feels
valued.

*Habit 5: Seek First To Understand, Then To Be Understood*

The deepest need of each family member is to be understood, for
understanding affirms the intrinsic worth of another. Not seeking to
understand leads to judgement, rejection and manipulation. Empathic
listening opens the doors to real bonding.



Whether you are a blind parent, a parent of blind children, a prospective
parent, or a supporter of any kind, we hope you can attend!

You do not have to read the book to come and participate! Our facilitators
will review the book as well as have reflection questions! Just come with
an open mind and an open heart!

You do not have to live in Pennsylvania to join our meeting. Parenting has
no geographical barriers so we do not think our meetings should either!



*Topic:* Habits of Highly Effective Families

*Facilitators:* Yvonne Hughes and Stacie Leap

*Date:* Saturday, October 29, 2022

*Time:* 7PM to 8:30PM ET

*Location:* Zoom Information is below!

Casper


 

Run Time 1 hour and 36 minutes

Rating: PG

In Friendship, Maine following the death of her father, neurotic and spoiled
heiress Carrigan Crittenden discovers she has only been left Whipstaff Manor
in his will while his vast wealth has gone to several charities. Carrigan
and her lawyer Dibs find a map within the will's papers that tell of an
alleged treasure hidden inside the manor, but find the property haunted by a
ghost named Casper and his poltergeist uncles the Ghostly Trio. They
unsuccessfully attempt to force the ghosts out by way of paranormal experts
and a demolitions team. A lonely Casper watches a news report about
paranormal therapist James Harvey and is instantly smitten with his teenage
daughter, Kat, prompting Casper to inspire Carrigan in summoning James to
Whipstaff. Kat dislikes her father's reputation and obsession with
contacting the ghost of his late wife, Amelia. The Harveys move into
Whipstaff, but Casper's attempt to befriend them fails when his uncles try
to torment and scare them away, which eventually fails.

 

Casper gains the Harveys' trust when he serves them breakfast, and follows
Kat to school, where she becomes popular when her class learns she is living
in Whipstaff, and agrees to host their Halloween party there. Her envious
classmate Amber plots with her friend, Vic (who Kat has a crush on), to
humiliate Kat during the party. James attempts therapy sessions with the
Ghostly Trio, who not only try to avoid them, but also reveal they know
Amelia; in exchange for convincing Carrigan to leave them alone, they
promise to go through the "red tape" involved to get James a meeting with
his wife.

 

Kat learns Casper has no memory of his life, and restores his old playroom
in the attic to remind him. Casper recognizes an old wooden sled his father
bought him, and remembers playing outside until he caught a severe cold and
died of pneumonia, becoming a ghost to keep his father company. A newspaper
article reveals that Casper's father was declared legally insane after he
built a machine, the Lazarus, which he claimed could bring the dead back to
life. Casper and Kat venture to the basement and find the Lazarus. Carrigan
and Dibs sneak inside, steal the formula that powers the Lazarus, and plot
to use the machine, believing it could grant them immortality. However, they
attempt to kill each other to test the theory and retrieve the treasure they
think is in the basement's locked vault. This culminates in Carrigan
attempting to run Dibs over with her Range Rover, only to instead crash into
a cliff-side tree. Upon exiting her car, Carrigan falls to her death and
becomes a ghost.

 

James becomes despondent after the trio pull a prank on him, prompting them
to take him out on the town. They plan on killing him to make themselves a
quartet, but have a change of heart after the drunken therapist declares he
will tell Carrigan off so they can stay in their home. However, while still
drunk, James accidentally falls to his death down a manhole.

 

In the laboratory, a furious ghostly Carrigan confronts Casper and Kat,
stealing what she believes to be the treasure from the vault and launching
Dibs out a window when he tries to double-cross her. As Carrigan demands to
be brought back to life, Casper and Kat trick Carrigan into saying that she
has no unfinished business on Earth, causing her to eject herself into the
afterlife. After Carrigan's ghost disintegrates and disappears, the chest
she had been holding falls to the floor and the lid opens, revealing the
treasure inside to be Casper's prized baseball, signed by Duke Snider; the
map was part of a game Casper played with his father. James, now a ghost and
still in his drunken state, returns with Casper's uncles and after bringing
him back to his senses, Kat's despair over this prompts Casper to sacrifice
his one chance to return to life, restoring James instead.

 

The Halloween party kicks off upstairs; Amber and Vic's prank is thwarted by
the Ghostly Trio, and they flee in terror. Amelia, now an angel, meets with
Casper alone in his toy room, crediting him for his bravery and sacrifice,
and grants him a Cinderella-type deal that he can have until ten o'clock
back as his younger, physical self, allowing him to attend the party and
dance with Kat. Amelia meets with James and tells him that she was so
content with her family while alive that she has no unfinished business, and
encourages him to move on, while explaining that the Ghostly Trio kept their
promise to get him a meeting with her. Amelia departs as the clock chimes
ten, promising James that they and Kat will be together again one day and,
after kissing Kat, Casper transforms back into a ghost, scaring off the
guests. Kat, nonetheless, is impressed with the party, which James says is
not over, cueing the Ghostly Trio to play their nephew's theme for them to
dance to.

Uncle Buck


 

Runt Time 1 hour and 40 minutes

Rating: PG

 

Bob and Cindy Russell and their three children, 15-year-old Tia, 8-year-old
Miles, and 6-year-old Maizy, have recently moved from Indianapolis to the
Chicago suburbs due to Bob's promotion.

 

Bob has a brother named Buck. In contrast to the Russells' upper middle
class lifestyle, Buck lives in a small apartment in Wrigleyville, drinks,
smokes cigars, earns his living by betting on rigged horse races, and drives
a dilapidated 1977 Mercury. Buck also finds himself at odds with his
girlfriend of eight years, Chanice. She wants to get married and start a
family, but Buck is reluctant to do so as he loves his lifestyle. To quell
her dissatisfaction, Buck has grudgingly accepted a new job at her tire
shop.

 

At 12:02 AM, the family receives a phone call from Cindy's aunt in
Indianapolis informing them that her father has had a heart attack. They
make plans to leave immediately to be with him. After hearing the news, Tia,
bitter about being forced to move, accuses Cindy of abandoning her father.
Bob suggests asking Buck to come and watch the children, to which Cindy
objects as she considers Buck a bad influence and a failure.

 

Cindy suggests asking their neighbors the Nevilles for help instead while
also shooting down the idea of their neighbor Marcie watching them, but Bob
finds they are holidaying in Florida. Buck cheerfully accepts the job when
Bob calls him. When he informs Chanice that he cannot start his job yet due
to the family emergency, Chanice assumes Buck is trying as usual to lie his
way out of working.

 

Upon arriving, Buck deals with Cindy's cold demeanor towards him and finds
himself cropped out of Bob and Cindy's wedding picture. Nevertheless, he
quickly befriends Miles and Maizy, but Tia is brash and hostile as they
engage in a battle of wills. When Buck meets Tia's cocky obnoxious boyfriend
Bug, he warns her that Bug is only interested in her for sex and repeatedly
thwarts her plans to sneak away on dates with him.

 

Over the next several days, he deals with several situations in comedic
fashion, including taking the kids to his favourite bowling alley, making
enormous pancakes for Miles' birthday, removing the drunk Pooter the Clown
from the property, berating assistant principal Anita Hoargarth about
Maizy's behavior in class, and handling the laundry when the washing machine
does not work.

 

Eventually, Tia exacts revenge on Buck for meddling in her relationship by
tricking Chanice into thinking that Buck is cheating on her with Marcie. The
next day, Chanice comes over to confront Buck about what she heard, but is
furious to find Buck dancing with Marcie in the living room. Chanice leaves
him.

 

The following weekend, concerned after Tia sneaks out to a party, Buck
decides to go looking for her rather than attend a horse race which would
have provided him with enough money for the entire following year. He calls
and begs Chanice to watch Miles and Maizy as he searches for Tia. At the
party, thinking that Bug is taking advantage of her in a bedroom, he forces
the door open by drilling out the lock, but walks in on Bug forcing himself
on another girl. After he finds Tia wandering the streets, she tearfully
apologizes to him and acknowledges he was right about Bug. Buck then reveals
Bug, bound and gagged with duct tape, in the trunk of his car. After
intimidating him, Buck lets Bug out of the trunk to apologize to her. When
Bug is finally released, he threatens to sue Buck and retracts his apology,
but flees in fear after Buck strikes him with a golf ball.

 

At home, Tia helps Buck reconcile with Chanice by admitting her lie and
tells Chanice that Buck would be a good husband and father. Buck also agrees
to start his job at the garage, and he and Chanice reunite.

 

Cindy's father recovers and she and Bob return home from Indianapolis. Upon
entering the house, Tia surprises her mother with a hug. The entire Russell
family says farewell to Buck and Chanice as they leave for Chicago, with
Buck and Tia exchanging a loving wave goodbye.

 Missouri's Scholarship Program
Message-ID: <C2C645E9-2FAA-4771-AA66-60FF0C89F635@nfbmo.org>

Attention students!

Are you looking for scholarships? Are you a senior in high school planning on attending college next year? Are you currently in college looking for ways to offset your educational expenses? If you could answer to the questions above, the time is NOW to apply for the 2023 NFB of Missouri’s scholarship program. Please see message below and direct any questions to Robin House, chair of the scholarship committee. We hope to host a Q&A session in the near future, answering any questions you may have about the program.

National Federation of the Blind of Missouri
2023 Scholarship Program

The National Federation of the Blind of Missouri announces our 2023 Scholarship Program. We will be accepting applications until February 1, 2023. We invite all qualified candidates to apply. Applicants must be legally blind and plan to enroll in a post-secondary institution for the fall of 2023. Applicants should live in Missouri but need not be a member of the National Federation of the Blind. Scholarships begin at $750 and are based on merit. We invite applicants to submit all information and documents online. All application materials must be received by February 1, 2023, either through the online form found at www.nfbmo.org <http://www.nfbmo.org/> or at the email address provided below.
Acknowledgment of applications and documents will be sent upon receipt. If you have questions or concerns, please do not hesitate to contact the Scholarship Chair.

A complete application consists of the official application form and a student essay, plus these supporting documents: student transcripts, two letters of recommendation, a letter from an NFB of Missouri Scholarship Committee member, and proof of legal blindness. Please note that letters of recommendation must not be submitted by the applicant but must come directly from the person authoring the recommendation.

In an effective essay the applicant may consider sharing about his or her life in a way that gives the committee insight into him or her.
The essay should cover the ways in which one lives successfully as a blind person and describe personal goals for the future. Committee members give the essay a great deal of attention.

In addition to receiving the monetary award, the scholarship Finalist will attend the convention of the National Federation of the Blind of Missouri, April 14-16, 2023, at the Hilton Airport Hotel in St. Louis, MO. Hotel accommodations, convention registration, and planned meals during the convention will be included. We are also happy to help coordinate transportation to ensure this is not a barrier to our scholarship class. The type of transportation assistance may vary based on where in Missouri the winner resides and the available transportation resources in that community.

Throughout the convention, scholarship winners will have an opportunity to learn about the National Federation of the Blind and network with successful blind people. In addition, final interviews with the Scholarship Committee will aid the committee in determining the scholarship each winner will receive.

You should know that merit scholarships from the National Federation of the Blind go directly to the winner and should not be considered as a similar benefit by Rehabilitation Services for the Blind. Therefore, students can use funds to meet expenses that other funding sources do not cover. Also, merit scholarships are viewed favorably when included on a resume.

The application can be found on the NFB of Missouri website. If you have any questions about the application process, please contact the scholarship chair.

The National Federation of the Blind knows that blindness is not the 
characteristic that defines you or your future. Every day we raise the 
expectations of blind people, because low expectations create obstacles 
between blind people and our dreams. You can live the life you want; 
blindness is not what holds you back.

Message-ID: <CAERE8VZyQ5oX7s33WXmCJriWPLV1_YK0Ay6J+b=hfetVHwRGeA@mail.gmail.com>

Hello Federation Family!



The Blind Parents Group of the National Federation of the Blind of
Pennsylvania is continuing their discussion series of the Habits of Highly
Effective Families. It is a discussion based on the book by Stephen
Covey, *"The
7 Habits of Highly Effective Families: Building a Beautiful Family Culture
in a Turbulent World."*

You can find the book in BARD mobile, Audible, Kindle, and Apple books.



This month, we are focusing on Habit 4 & 5:

*Habit 4: Think Win-Win*

Have an “everyone can win” attitude within your family. Embrace an attitude
of abundance and search for third alternatives so that everyone feels
valued.

*Habit 5: Seek First To Understand, Then To Be Understood*

The deepest need of each family member is to be understood, for
understanding affirms the intrinsic worth of another. Not seeking to
understand leads to judgement, rejection and manipulation. Empathic
listening opens the doors to real bonding.



Whether you are a blind parent, a parent of blind children, a prospective
parent, or a supporter of any kind, we hope you can attend!

You do not have to read the book to come and participate! Our facilitators
will review the book as well as have reflection questions! Just come with
an open mind and an open heart!

You do not have to live in Pennsylvania to join our meeting. Parenting has
no geographical barriers so we do not think our meetings should either!



*Topic:* Habits of Highly Effective Families

*Facilitators:* Yvonne Hughes and Stacie Leap

*Date:* Saturday, October 29, 2022

*Time:* 7PM to 8:30PM ET

*Location:* Zoom Information is below!



For more information, please contact Stacie Leap, Chair of the Blind
Parents Group of the National Federation of the Blind of Pennsylvania, at
stacie.leap at gmail.com or 215-776-6741

Dear Sir/Madam,


I am Maria, working in a team of developing Blabber Gadget game that is
going to launch in a month on Kickstarter as a gadget for the blind. This
board game is going to change the lives of the blind and anyone with low
vision. It bridges blind people with their family members. You can see more
information on blabbergadget.com.

To make this lifechanging gadget available for all the blind, we need your
help. We would love to publish an article on your blog about Blabber
gadget. Please provide the details what we should do to make it work.

Please also advise how else we can reach the community members. Whether you
provide help with connecting the members or can you provide some contact
information for reaching the blind and their relatives to make them a
special discount.

Help us give the unseen vision of love, fun and harmony to people who need
it.

In case you would love to acquire some of the gadgets, we will have a
special discount for you, too. Looking forward to your answer.


Kind regards,
Maria Madison
Project Manager

Thank you to all of our members who contributed to the Illinois Association of Blind Students Pie Palooza fundraiser.. Thanks to  many incredibly generous members, we reached our $1000 fundraising goal and, 5 Leaders  received a pie to the face. 
The $200 goal was IABS president Ellen Bartelt. 
Once we reach $200 our affiliate president Marilyn Green, challenged us to raise $100 in three minutes so that, Sara Luna, first vice president would receive a pie to the face. The $100 was Reyes so, Sara became the second recipient. 
The $400 goal was NFB of Illinois secretary and IABS board member Deborah Stine. 
The $600 goal was IABS secretary and 2022 national scholarship recipient Teresa Fabre. 
The $800 goal was our national Association of Blind students representative Elizabeth Rouse. 
Our original $1000 goal was  national representative Adelmo Vigil,.  however, the convention voted to donate an additional $100 to spare him from receiving a pie to the face.
The Illinois Association of blind students ultimately raise $1130. The IABS board and members are incredibly appreciative of everyone who supported our fundraiser through not just donating but, spreading the word and supporting the student division 

We broadcasted all of our leaders receiving their pies to the phase through the national Federation of the blind of Illinois Facebook page. You can watch the Facebook live here, https://fb.watch/gtGHhyc3Jh/ 

  

Sara Luna, 
She, her, hers.
