Hi,
What are membership coins? Is that a local project or national in scope?
Thanks,
Lauren
Consider the flowers of a garden: though differing in kind, color, form
and shape, yet, inasmuch as they are refreshed by the waters of one spring,
revived by the breath of one wind, invigorated by the rays of one sun, this
diversity increaseth their charm, and addeth unto their beauty. ....

Congratulations to all! Because of your hard work and cooperation ,
California will be receiving its membership coins. Please check in at your
June chapter meeting to see if your coins have arrived. Many chapter
presidents will soon be receiving coins for the chapter. Be sure to bring
them to Las Vegas. New members will be able to join the organization and
obtain their own coin using the new member procedures and online form. Ask
your chapter president for details.
This year, California has three national scholarship winners, eight Jernigan
Fund winners and 16 state grant recipients attending their first national
convention. Please welcome them into our movement when you see them around
the convention hotel.
Over the past month I had an opportunity to visit the Central Valley chapter
and the San Joaquin Valley chapter. I'm so encouraged by the energy and
enthusiasm that these relatively young chapters are reflecting in their
communities. They are truly living the lives they want and integrating into
the community. I look forward to visiting more chapters throughout the
state in the coming months.
The regeneration of new membership and chapter growth is a reminder to me of
the strength of our work. The movement isn't about any one person or group
of people. Our philosophy is timeless and is being passed across the
generations. If you haven't checked out the National Federation of the
Blind of California in several years, then come back and see how we're
moving forward with love and determination to let California know that
blindness is not what holds us back.
The Central Valley Chapter will be having a fundraising event partnering
with Lularoe, a clothing company known for their unique designs, on June
1-June 5. A percentage of everything bought from our local Lularoe vendors
during this period will go to our chapter, and the company will match what
we make. There are three ways to shop, and you don't even have to live in
the area to participate. A link will be open for online shopping from June
1-June 5. There will also be a live Facebook shopping event on June 3, time
TBA, found at the link below. On Wednesday, June 5, our vendors will open
their shop, 514 E Roseburg Ave, Modesto, from 6-8 p.m. for a fun evening of
shopping.

On Saturday, June 15, the Central Valley Chapter will be sponsoring a rock
climbing trip for a group of local blind elementary school students at
Stonehenge Climbing Gym, 500 Ninth St, Unit L2, Modesto, 95354. Many of
their chapter members will also be joining them on the climb, all NFB
members are welcome to come even if they will not be climbing and to
encourage those who do come, as this is an excellent opportunity to get to
know some of our local blind students and their parents. The cost is $10
per person to climb, and they need to have a final count by Saturday, June
8.
