We are reminded of our rights and responsibilities asmembers by repeating our NFB pledge. Please repeat after me:

One-MinuteMessage

TheNational Federation of the Blind knows that blindness is not the characteristicthat defines us or our future. Every day we raise the expectations of blindpeople, because low expectations create obstacles between blind people and ourdreams. We can live the life we want; blindness is not what holds us back.

*Invite each individual to introduce themselves and share what they hope to doas a member of the Federation.
