Hello NFBC Federationists, 

 

I am attaching a flyer, as well as pasting below the information for the Job
Readiness Workshop that will be hosted by the San Fernando Valley chapter.
Please come to support us and hear from good speakers that we have lined up
for you. Please share this information with all of your friends and fellow
federationists, and anyone and everyone blind and low vision who want to be
employed. Please call in or email to RSVP to give us an idea of how many
chairs to set up for. 

 

Thank you in advance for coming.

The mission of the National Federation of the Blind is to achieve widespread
emotional acceptance and intellectual understanding that the real problem of
blindness is not the loss of eyesight but the misconceptions and lack of
information which exist. We do this by bringing blind and low vision people
together to share successes, to support each other during difficult times,
and to find innovative solutions.

 

Membership in the NFB is extremely rewarding because it opens up a network
of unparalleled support, friendship, and resources.  With more than 50,000
members, the National Federation of the Blind is the largest and most
influential membership organization of blind people in the United States.
Anyone and everyone (blind, low vision, family members and friends) are
welcome to come and check out our meetings and join our chapter if
interested.
