All are welcome. Please join us on February 8 to hear what Glenn Crosby, the President of the Senior Division has to say. Here is his bio.<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>Glenn Crosby was born, in Beaumont, TX, in 1945. He became blind as the result of an accident when he was three-years-old. Glenn attended the Texas School for the Blind and graduated in 1963. Following graduation, he returned to his home to attend the University of Houston. He majored in political science and worked while attending school. His jobs included a stent as a health club worker, secretary to the director of the Poverty Program, and a musician. <o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>Following college, Glenn had the opportunity to respond to a request for proposals to provide foodservice at a court building in Houston, Texas. Although this opportunity did not fit into the plans he had for himself, he decided to take it, and it worked out well for him. He had actually grown up in a family that worked in the foodservice industry. So, he had a fair amount of knowledge related to the business.<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>During the same time he was starting his first business, he also found the National Federation of the Blind. He joined in 1967, and was thrown into the presidency of the NFB of Texas in 1968. He attended his first national convention that year and helped to bring the convention to Texas in 1971. He stepped down from the presidency before the 1971 convention in order to allow a more experienced person to host that convention, and he did not become president, again, until 1977.<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>While Glenn built his business, and worked to build the Federation in Texas, he also began to raise a family. His son was born in 1971, and in 1976, a daughter joined the family. As his children grew, he was active in their lives as most parents are. He served on the board of the Heights Little league, and he also served on the board of All Saints Catholic School, where his children attended. <o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><a name="_heading=h.gjdgxs"></a>Glenn was divorced in 1984, and in 1989, he married Norma Crosby. In so doing, he added two more children to his family. Glenn retired in 2013, after forty-five years in business for himself. Today, he serves as president of the NFB Seniors Division and is the first gentleman of the NFB of Texas. He remains an active member at both the affiliate and national levels.<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>Join Zoom Meeting<br><a href="https://zoom.us/j/95339138606">https://zoom.us/j/95339138606</a><br><br>Meeting ID: 953 3913 8606<br>One tap mobile<br>+14086380968,,95339138606# US (San Jose<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoPlainText><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal style='line-height:12.0pt;text-autospace:none'><span style='font-family:"Courier New"'> You were born to win, but to be a winner, you must plan to win, prepare to win, and expect to win.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal style='line-height:12.0pt;text-autospace:none'><span style='font-family:"Courier New"'>You can do anything and everything<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal style='line-height:12.0pt;text-autospace:none'><span style='font-family:"Courier New"'>You set your mind to!<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal style='line-height:12.0pt;text-autospace:none'><span style='font-family:"Courier New"'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal style='background:white'><b><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Tahoma",sans-serif;color:black;letter-spacing:.25pt'>Veronica Smith, SAGE President</span></b><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:Roboto;color:#222222;letter-spacing:.25pt'><o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal style='background:white'><b><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Tahoma",sans-serif;color:black;letter-spacing:.25pt'>Senior Action Group Energy </span></b><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:Roboto;color:#222222;letter-spacing:.25pt'><o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal style='background:white'><b><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Tahoma",sans-serif;color:black;letter-spacing:.25pt'>National Federation of the Blind of New Mexico</span></b><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:Roboto;color:#222222;letter-spacing:.25pt'><o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal style='background:white'><span style='color:black'><a href="mailto:NFBNM.sage@gmail.com"><b><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Tahoma",sans-serif'>NFBNM.sage@gmail.com</span></b></a></span><b><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Tahoma",sans-serif;color:#2E74B5'><o:p></o:p></span></b></p><p class=MsoNormal style='background:white'><b><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Tahoma",sans-serif;color:black;letter-spacing:.25pt'>505-269-1034</span></b><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:Roboto;color:#222222;letter-spacing:.25pt'><o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal style='background:white'><b><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif;color:black;letter-spacing:.25pt'> </span></b><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:Roboto;color:#222222;letter-spacing:.25pt'><o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal style='background:white'><b><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Tahoma",sans-serif;color:black;letter-spacing:.25pt'>Live the life you want.</span></b><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:Roboto;color:#222222;letter-spacing:.25pt'><o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal style='background:white'><span style='color:black'><a href="http://www.nfbnm.org/" target="_blank"><b><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Tahoma",sans-serif;color:#2E74B5;letter-spacing:.25pt'>www.nfbnm.org</span></b></a></span><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:Roboto;color:#2E74B5;letter-spacing:.25pt'><o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal style='background:white'><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif;color:black;letter-spacing:.25pt'> </span><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:Roboto;color:#222222;letter-spacing:.25pt'><o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal style='background:white'><b><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Tahoma",sans-serif;color:black;letter-spacing:.25pt;background:white'>The National Federation of the Blind is a community of members and friends who believe in the hopes and dreams of the nation’s blind.
