[cheryl echevarria]

Good evening:

Some may or may not know me. I am Cheryl Echevarria, current President of our Travel and Tourism Division, also Treasurer of the Greater Long Island Chapter and a member of NAGDU.
The story that was written up about me in the Long Island Press Newspaper, is being reprinted for the April Braille Monitor, and last night March 12th, 2012 at the Inn at New Hyde Park here in NY, I was honored with 6 other Women owned Businesses here on Long Island that make a change in the community that they live.
I had invited to attend the event which was free and was a business networking event that happens every 4-6 months was President David and Loraine Stayer of our Greater Long Island Chapter, the President and his wife of our Lions Chapter, Father John Sheehan of the Xavier Society for the Blind here in NY, and if you have been to conventions he has been in attendance especially in the Lawyers Mock Trial last year in Orlando. Richard Goldstein from the NY State Commission for the Blind and Visually Handicapped, some family members and our newest member of the NFB here in NY. Former Governor David Paterson, who came and spoke as well. Got a great picture of him. I am proud to call him my friend.
What an awesome event!!
My cousin was actually a recipient in 2009 and you must be nominated to receive this honor.
Because of the services that I offer that travel services not only for the blind, travel with a guide dog, but for dialysis patients as well, since I am also a former dialysis patient and kidney transplant recipient.
Since I am a guide dog user, I thought I would send you this information. 
I also have videos up on youtube or by going to my business website, I have a dedicated youtube page.
Leading the Way in Independent Travel!
