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?
