We have shared wonderful meetings, strengthened our connections, and welcomed new members whose dedication and passion continue to enrich our chapter. Thank you to each of you for your support, commitment, and hard work. Because of you, our chapter continues to move forward in strong alignment with the mission of the National Federation of the Blind. Your efforts make a real difference. As we look ahead to the new year, I encourage all of you to keep reaching out—encouraging, supporting, and inspiring other blind individuals to live the lives they want. Together, we are building a community rooted in empowerment, understanding, and hope. Please note that we will not have a meeting this month. I look forward to seeing everyone in the new year on *Thursday, January 15, 2026, at 7:00 PM*. I wish you and your families a blessed and joyful Christmas and a safe, happy New Year filled with grace and peace. Please remember to check on your neighbors, friends, and loved ones, as this season can be difficult and lonely for some. Be kind to one another—and especially kind to yourselves. I am truly grateful for each of you and look forward to all that we will accomplish together in the coming year.
