I am so sorry that I missed the meeting without notifying you Robert and
all! I just had my days mixed up due to frequent schedule changes at work. I
did not realize it was even Monday until this morning! So very sorry and I
hope someone was able to take minutes for the meeting. Things are really
messed up at work as we are 50 people short from the normal work force in
the summer. Again I apologize. I was looking forward to hearing about
National Convention!

Robert Leslie Newman

President, NFBN Senior division 

 

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 live the life you want; blindness is not what holds you back
