LAKES REGION NATIONAL FEDERATION OF THE BLIND of NH NEWSLETTER for October, 
2011

    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 Saturday of 
the month at the Good Shepherd Lutheran Church on Parade Road (Rt. 106), a 
little north of Elm St., Laconia. Our next meeting will be the third 
Saturday of October



Last month we exchanged hints about doing things at home, and discussed 
plans for possible future activities. We will attend a Christmas Pops 
concert, and in lieu of buying for a Yankee Gift Swap we will donate to 
local food pantries. Virginia Dearborn also brought up as a possible Spring 
activity a humorous stage presentation. I had talked about Deborah Moore 
replacing me as president next year, but she has told me she is not quite 
ready for that now. However I do need suggestions for possible future 
speakers or discussion topics.



This month we will have as visitor the new head of the NH Talking Book 
Library, Marilyn Stevenson, to chat informally about her experiences here. 
As usual we will end with our pot-luck lunch. As always, guests and 
first-time attendees are not expected to bring any food or drink.

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.
