The National Federation of the Blind knows that blindness is not the characteristic that defines you or your future. Every day we raise expectations for blind people because low expectations create obstacles between blind people and their dreams. You can live the life you want; blindness is not what holds you back.

Yes, I received your email, Robert. I do have a question however. Since I signed up for the senior division I must have received 50 emails or more. I just don?t want this constant stream of emails. Is there anyway to just be a member without getting all the emails?
Thank you,
Michael outwater

In Minnesota, we are seeking information about how to be tested for covid-19 when you do not have access to transportation. In your state do you know of any assistance available to help someone go to be tested? Is there home testing? Who is eligible for it? If you have any information please e-mail 

Jsanders.nfb at comcast.net

Thank you.

Hi Federation Family!


 

Below is the agenda for the National Federation of the Blind of SC's state
convention.  Also attached is a word file marked up with headings.  We look
forward to you joining us!!


 


64th ANNUAL NATIONAL FEDERATION OF THE BLIND OF SOUTH CAROLINA VIRTUAL STATE
CONVENTION!


August 21, 22, 23, 2020

          

 

 

          

          OF SOUTH CAROLINA

 

THEME "working together to help blind people live the lives they want"

 




Integrity and Respect


To allow all attendees the chance to benefit from all aspects of the
convention, we are committed to providing a harassment-free environment for
everyone. We appreciate your assistance in cultivating an atmosphere in
which participants from diverse backgrounds may learn, network, and share
with each other in an environment of mutual respect. Thank you for doing
your part to contribute to our community and the high expectations we strive
to maintain.

 


One Minute Message 


 

The National Federation of the Blind knows that blindness is not the
characteristic that defines you or your future.  Every day, we raise the
expectations of blind people because low expectations create obstacles
between blind people and our dreams.  You can live the life you want:
blindness is not what holds you back.  

 


Thank you to Sponsors


 

VANDA Pharmaceuticals, Inc.
