Hi There,
I am writing with a mixed bag of news. 
 First I would like to offer our deepest condolences to Marie Winchester and her family on the death of our fellow Federationnist Brett Winchester who also was a former long time employee of the Idaho Commission for the Blind & VI.   He had been sick for some time.
Next, Glade Whiting is the new President of Idaho’s new Chapter: the Central Idaho Chapter of the NFB-I with a full board and eleven members.  Congratulations, Glade and to your team!
Many thanks go out to Noel and Shelley Newhouse who were very instrumental in the chapter development. Noel even sacrificed his ankle to the cause!!!!!  By the time you are reading this he is back at Shelley’s Mom’s house and expects to return home over the weekend!   Shelley’s mom Dorothy was also a great help to all of us!
More info will be shared at the NFB-I Board meeting on October the 23rd.
 
Board member Larry W. Dickerson, my Husband is recuperating at home with home health care, physical therapy, and Speech  therapy after being life flight transported  to a Utah hospital( McKay Dee in Ogden) after a stroke, and complications from Porphyria  His left side was affected and his speech and a few other problems..
