Subject: September meeting announcement for SAGE

National Federation of the Blind of New Mexico

 <mailto:NFBNM.sage at gmail.com> NFBNM.sage at gmail.com

** Attention everyone, As of June, 2024, we have a new Zoom in number. 

Every month we get together to learn about blindness. We get together to
learn how others do the things they do after they lose their vision,
something they have relied on for some or all of their lives. Come join us
on Wednesday, September 11, at 7:00 P. m. Mountain time. Winford Haynes will
entertain us with the stories of his life. Here is a little bit about him.

I was born in Clovis, New Mexico  in 1955. I was the fifth child born out of
six and I am the only boy. I went to the New mexico School for the Visually
Handicapped when I was in second grade and that is where I graduated from.
Fifteen years after high school I got my massage Therapist license. I am a
cane travel instructor and currently work in Texas. I have met several
important individuals, actors, the Pope, to mention just a few. I love
working so not going to retire any time soon.

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.

Veronica Smith, SAGE President

Senior Action Group Energy 

505-269-1034

Live the life you want.

The National Federation of the Blind is a community of members and friends
who believe in the hopes and dreams of the nation's blind. Every day we work
together to help blind people live the lives they want.

 <http://www.nfb.org/> www.nfb.org

NFB Pledge: 

I pledge to participate actively in the efforts of the National Federation
of the Blind to achieve equality, opportunity, and security for the blind;
to support the policies and programs of the Federation; and to abide by its
constitution.
