[Nfbc-info] May 2015 Bulletin

[Mary Willows]

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.

May 2015 Bulletin

 

Dear Fellow Federationists,

I start this May Bulletin with our new branding.  The following is the
essence of the 75 years of love, hope and determination.  Commit it to
memory.  It will get you through all kinds of situations.

"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."
