I feel a strong bond with those I have met here, most especially those who were present at D B Division meeting in Dallas this year.  Janice, I trust that you continue to inform Burnell about what you read here,.  Please give her our love, and tell her to send news of how she is doing and news about the rest of her board.

To that end, I would like to learn what of geographical structure is represented here.  At some point in the future, it will be important for us to be organized.  My vision is that every one of the State Affiliates of the NFB that has deaf-blind members will be represented on this list.  On the state level we can begin to educate our Affiliate presidents and executive boards about the need for SSPs.  I have done so in my state, Louisiana, and our president has been very responsive, supporting my efforts in educating the public about deaf-blindness.  One excellent opportunity to establish a network in your state, if you don't already have one, is the HKDBA Awareness program,.  If your state does not already  hold a HKDBA celebration once a year, HKNC can help you to start one.  I believe that your NFB Affiliate president will be happy to support you in building a program.
