[NFB-Seniors] Today's Call

[cwbraithwaite at bellsouth.net]

Such a great meeting yesterday! I especially enjoyed the Rocky Bottom retreat reports and the information about the two valuable books, both of which I plan to order. The meeting really fired me up to press on here in Alabama with our Seniors Division's efforts to serve our state's blind seniors. I had been feeling kind of low after battling with my bout of Covid 19 virus, and it is great to be encouraged by all of you once more to press on!
Carol Braithwaite, Alabama

Yes, I loved hearing about the experiences at the Rocky Bottom training.  I know several older people I would love to see go to a training like that.

I stayed only an hour. But I heard good presentations.
