[Nfb-lions] Introduction

[Tammy]

Marianne,
Welcome to the list.  My name is Tammy.  I have been in Lions for several
years.  I am currently serving as the President of my club.  

I understand about finding your place in a community.  I moved to Nebraska 4
years ago at age 51.  I really didn't know anybody.  Talk about a challenge!
Lol!  It took time but I slowly worked my way into a church, Lions Club and
NFB.  This grew into sighted and blind community.  I have been blessed with
some amazing friends here.  Maybe you can try different things.  Find a
local ACB or NFB meeting.  Give it a few tries before you join.  Either of
these can offer blind/low vision community.  Lions Club can be a great
resource to volunteer or even paying jobs.  We do a lot of networking in our
community.  I learned that I had to put myself out there in order to gain my
super great friends.   I don't want to sound like some big authority.  Just
tossing out info about me starting from scratch.  Smile!

Hope things head in a positive direction soon.
Yours in service!

Hi Milton,
Since we are Lions, I Can easily give you my email:
advocate at earthlink.net

If Lions want to contact me, (maybe they want to visit CA), let me know
privately and I can give you my phone number and I can show people a good
time.

Marianne

Good Evening,
My name is Marianne.  I am a visually impaired Lion in Northern Ca.
Unfortunately, the Lions Center in Oakland is closing.  Now, I am looking
for other opportunities to volunteer.  I have fun going to Optometrists
collecting glasses.

Who else is out there and what are you doing for projects?

Lion Marianne
