Greetings to all,
on Saturday, Southern California chapters came together, mainly to fellowship with one another but, we did manage to sneak in a little barbecue, line dancing and game playing. Most of the time, when the Federation family come together, we are usually in a chapter meeting, at conventions or gathered together in a seminar. It was a dream of mine for Southern California chapters to come together, meet one another and get to know our Federation family. Each chapter did a little fundraising. The San Fernando Valley chapter sold phone chargers. the guiding light chapter ran an auction. The senior division sold tickets for a 50-50 raffle and   the Pathfinder chapter sold fans and bracelets. Also, Ever Lee Hairston had a table set up to autograph and sell her book, quotation blind ambition quotation. I would like to especially thank the Pathfinder chapter for showing up in numbers and getting their hands dirty to help set up, serve up and clean up.
Donations from the San Fernando Valley chapter, the Inland Empire chapter, the Guiding Light chapter and the Pathfinder chapter was certainly appreciated.
Thank you all again for showing love, hope and determination.

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.
