[A.J. LaPointe]

Hi, can I get a copy of a clip or video of this?  I am very interested to do 
something similar here in Salem, MA.  I would appreciate anything you can 
give me to get ideas...  Thanks so much, Andy and Shubert

Hi Everyone,
I thought I would share with you an Educational training my agency had 
yesterday about people with disabilities with a man named Dave (two people 
on this list know him) from Buffalo, NY. It was a training about policy 
change , enforcing laws, meeting with our local Police, EMT and Fire 
departments to train them how to assist people with disabilities. Dave is 
not only a wonderful speaker but he kept our attention without anyone being 
bored for 7 hours. He did mention the NFB a few times. In his power point 
there was a story about Helen Keller and the changes she made for the blind 
and deaf community. I then told the audience how she challenged a group of 
business men to become the Knight of the Blind and they took up her 
challenge. That is how the Lions Clubs began and they are International. 
Since I am a Lion I was so happy this topic was brought up and of course 
Helen Keller who I have always admired for her drive and stamina to change 
the way people think of the blind and deaf.
I am also working with FEMA on the disability awareness in a disaster like 
we had a few month ago here on Long Island from Hurricane Sandy.
Marilyn and Anna
