LAKES REGION NATIONAL FEDERATION OF THE BLIND of NH NEWSLETTER for September 
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 September.



We had our annual picnic at Ellacoya State Park in July, and did not meet in 
August. We had a perfect day for the picnic, and Virginia Dearborn came up 
with excellent games for us. We were joined by the new talking book 
librarian, Marilyn Stevenson.



This month we will talk about our summer activities, news from the National 
organization, and plan future events. This includes a possible one-time 
change of date to accommodate a possible speaker, and our Christmas 
celebration. As usual we will end with our pot-luck lunch. As always, guests 
and first-time attendees are not 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. The 
cassette version is temporarily suspended as my high speed tape duplicator 
is out of order. Please request your preferred format.

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