> Hello all:
> What an exciting few weeks I have been having, and mind you I mention my
> NFB Family and the Travel and Tourism Division.
> They came and saw the zoomtext program I use, and I explain how I use it,
> I showed all my certifications not only from my suppliers and tourism
> boards, but also from the places that we sponsor, like down in GA. Tina
> Rockwell from Advanced Diabetic Solutions, is not only a business friend
> for the Diabetic Division, and my diabetic supplier, but I am also there
> personal travel agent for her family vacations.
> I mentioned NAGDU, and Diabetic Action Network. They interviewed my
> wonderful husband as well, and did video with me and Maxx. The segment
> will be about 5 minutes. Even if you don't have Verizon or live on long
> island to see it, I will send a link to it, also I will get a dvd of it
> and hopefully, or webmaster Peter Donahue will put it up on the website.
> Tina's boys are in the Dacula Athletic League and do the little league
> football, and we have been sponsors for there team for 2 years, and we
> will be doing it again this year. Each year we get a plaque and a banner
> put up in the ball park. It is nice.
> And other events here on Long Island
> But, I am not getting a big head at all on this. NOT!
> The lady asked me what is the best part of owning this business and where
> do I see myself in 5 years.
> I said, I of course want more customers. I want everyone, I will share
> because I want other people like myself, Anahit LaBarre, Maurice
> Shackelford, April Scheppe or anyone that wants to go into this business
> to be able to do this.
> We also mentioned, we love to the point, that we cry when someone blind,
> wheelchair, deaf, etc. that went on a trip for the first time and enjoyed
> it.
> But I had my NFB hat on the whole time as well. Educating that just
> because someone is blind, doesn't mean we can't do anything. I said we are
> college graduates, and have PhD's we just need the public to realize and
> to look beyond the cane, glasses and guide dog, and listen to what the
> person is saying and there credentials.
> So 5 years from now, I just want to say I am still doing what I am doing
> and more, I mentioned Matt Slosky from Social Flights, and speaking with
> Mark Jones of Disney and working closely with Norwegian Cruise Lines.
> Just sharing with my NFB family.
> Leading the Way in Independent Travel!
