[Nebraska-senior-blind] NFBN Senior Division Correction on date of meeting - Thursday August 28

[Karen Lemmon]

Hi all!

We are looking for someone from the Omaha area that is interested in
attending the Black Hills Ski for Light event in Deadwood next January. We
are organizing a bus to transfer us up there and back, ms\making stops
across the state to pick people up. Arrow bus line and Fontenelle Tours are
helping us with this project and we need someone in Omaha to help us get the
word out. I am attaching a promo letter and will soon have the flyer for the
trip from Ward that can be posted. If you know of some energetic person who
loves the outdoors and would appreciate the opportunity to reap the benefits
of the SFL program please have them contact me!

My phone number is 308-667-2054. 

Thanks 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.
