[NFBA-Phoenix] East Valley Chapter BBQ and Pool Party Announcement With Date

[MARJORIE R Kirsop]

Hi,
  The Tucson picnic is on the same day, but in the morning from 9-noon.  This would make it possible for me to make it to the pool party, hooray!  I was feeling bad that I couldn’t make it at first.  I could bring something that wouldn’t perish on the trip from Tucson.  Maybe cookies or chips?  Have a great day.  See you soon.
Love,
Lori

National Federation Of The Blind Principles

1. It is respectable to be blind. It’s okay to be blind. Being blind is something that we need not feel troubled or embarrassed about, concerned about or emotionally exhausted over. It’s okay to be blind.
2. The real problem of blindness is not the absence of vision but is the social misconceptions and stereotypes that exist about blindness. It is not the physical absence of eye sight but it is what society has come to believe about our blindness. We reject the misconceptions that society has and we accept that the physical absence of our sight is not the big problem.
3. With proper training and opportunity the average blind person can do the average job in the average place of work.
4. Blindness is simply one of many human characteristics, like being tall or being short, being big or small, being bright or average. Blindness is simply one of many
characteristics.
5. Blindness can be reduced to the level of an inconvenience or physical nuisance.
6. We believe in the effectiveness of alternative non visual techniques.
7. If we want equal rights we need to accept equal responsibility.
