[New-york-news] 2018 State Convention National Federation of the Blind

[Maurice A. Cook Jr.]

 Mike Robinson
President NFB of NY

Mike below you will find the Email I sent out about "VT's 2018 State
Convention". Like we discussed on the phone the other day, If you feel it
would help the growth of NFB of NY Affiliate by having the opportunity for
folks from Northeast NY joining us @ the NFB of Vt 2018 State Convention.
please feel free to share this. By NO means would I want to take any
membership from N.Y. and I feel by having Yourself &/or someone else @ our
Convention present the whole time we could VERY clearly make that clear and
happen, I'm sure we could even find a option for anyone from NY to meet in
a separate location. So you could directly discuss their options As for
becoming a NFBNY member.

Looking forward to hearing back from you as to your thoughts - - Moe

Best Regards,
Moe Cook

NFB's 1 Minute speech
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.
