LAKES REGION NATIONAL FEDERATION OF THE BLIND of 

NH NEWSLETTER for November, 2012

    We invite all persons interested in matters concerning blindness and low vision to our meetings. We normally meet at 10:30 AM on the 3rd (occassionally fourth) Saturday of the month at the Good Shepherd Lutheran Church 2238 Parade Road (Rt. 106), a little north of Elm St., Laconia. Our next meeting will be the third Saturday of November, the 17th. 

 

At our October meeting we heard from a representative from the NH Association of the Deaf and Hard of Hearing, who demonstrated various kinds of telecommunications devices. We ended with our usual pot luck luncheon. 

 

This month Tony Bonanno will talk about his experiences learning how to travel better with a long white cane at Leader Dog in Michigan. We will plan our Christmas concert and party for December 5, and our annual holiday giving to local food pantries. If time permits, we might discuss the latest installment of "Ask Miss Whozit" in the current BRAILLE MONITOR. Of course, we will end with our usual pot luck luncheon. As always, guests and first-time attendees are not expected to bring any food or drink.  

 

We continue to need suggestions for possible future speakers or discussion topics.

Do you know another blind or low vision person? Invite them to join us. We are the blind working to help the blind by sharing information, techniques, resources, and socialization. Help bring others to share with us. With their permission give us their regular or e-mail addresses so we can send announcements. We produce this newsletter in large print and by email. Please request your preferred format. edmeskys at roadrunner.com, 253-6207. 

If you need help with transportation to NFB meetings ONLY, please call Ed Meskys several days before the meeting and we will see what we can do to help.
