Mona Curry from Emergency Management Department of L A city is our special
guest speaker this month presenting a workshop on fire, earthquake and
disaster preparedness. Over 4 million residents reside within the City of
Los Angeles' 475 square miles. Los Angeles is prone to 13 of 16 possible
natural and man-made disasters and threats. The most probable and deadliest
is an earthquake. When a family is prepared for a major earthquake, they are
better prepared for other possible disasters. If you plan to attend, please
RSVP using the contact info below since seating is limited. 

 

 

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. 

 

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 people together to
share successes, to support each other in times of failure, and to create
imaginative solutions. Membership in the NFB is extremely rewarding because
it opens up a network of unparalleled support, friendship, and resources.
The NFB improves blind people's lives through advocacy, education, research,
technology, and programs encouraging independence and self-confidence.
Anyone and everyone (blind, low vision, family members and friends) are
welcome to come and check out our meetings and join if interested. 

 

RSVP is important since seating is limited. Please contact us via email at
nfbevents at gmail.com or via phone by calling: 818-457-9449.
