A MESSAGE FROM OUR PRESIDENT
The long white cane has become more than simply an elegant tool for
independence. It has come to represent the can-do, adventurous  spirit of
members of the National Federation of the Blind.

WHITE CANES MAKE A DIFFERENCE 

It is great to know there are still people in this world that care about
other people besides themselves. Your gift of a white cane could not have
come at a better time for me!

The National Federation of the Blind knows that blindness is not the
characteristic that defines blind people or their future. Every day we raise
the expectations of and for blind people, because low expectations create
obstacles between blind people and our dreams. We can live the lives we
want; blindness is not what holds us back. Please join us in our work by
becoming a member, attending an event, sharing thisnewsletter or supporting
our programs.
