[nfb-db] A Sort of Roll Call

[gabey8 at aol.com]

I'm from Philadelphia as well. (From the area near the Sports Complex, for those familiar with the city.)


I'm a longtime SSP who has attended multiple NFB conventions with a DB friend.

someone with the deaf-blind experience, I will identify with every message I 
read.  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.

a long-term goal of our Division  should be to aapproach Congress requesting 
funding for a nation wide SSP program. should be a long-term goal of our 
Division.  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.

Roxie is to.  Would the rest of you mind sharing what state you are from?
