  Hi all

  I sent this list but Cheryl replied that she did not get it so I will send it again but instead of pasting it to the email I will send it as an attachment.

  I went to Iowa City to the Opt homology research center and there is good news for those of us who have Stargardt's so am anxious to share this with you all.

  I am home now but will be gone in a few days again. In between time I am trying to accumulate  hours at work to pay for all my adventures!

  Talk soon, KLem

  Hi You All

  Yeah, didn't write the date change in my calendar; it is there now, along with several other important dates!

  And so here is what you need to know to join us for our August meeting:

  The date: Thursday the 28th 

  The time for the call: 6:00 PM Mountain and 7:00 PM Central 

  The phone number you will dial: 267-507-0400 

  Access code: 203747Pound 

  The rest of this message is the same as the first one-all very important stuff!

  Karen, if you can get us the names and numbers for people in your area who may need an assist to join us on the call, then we can contact them prior to the meeting, and get them talked into trying our 3 way experiment. 

  In addition, find attached a list of our current membership roster. Some of these people have not been joining us on the calls. MMM, I best find out if they have been added into our mailing list! And so we should make an effort  to call them! (I will email all those on this list who we've not seen on our calls, and.also to those who were guest, and did not join our division at our 2013 convention meeting.) We will need to divide up this list, and swear to follow-through with a phone contact!!! In fact, how about each one of you make a call to a member you have not talked to for a long time and see what they are doing; encourage them to join our call, and to plan to make it to convention.

  Topic for this meeting: Our new one minute message, which I see as one super great statement of our basic NFB philosophy. Below are the 3 short sentences that make it up; read and  be prepared to discuss their meaning:

  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 have the life you want; blindness is not what holds you back.

  And/we will not forget to address any special need that someone on the call may have.

  Also, bring your brags and drags!

  See you all there.
