[Nfbf-l] Congradulations!

Wed Jun 1 18:37:24 UTC 2011

Congratulations to Lenora, Rick, Jim, and Kim joining those that remained on the board. Joe, Sherri, Kathy, and Sherrill will be missed on the board. You have mentored me in many ways. Thanks for all of the support from the affiliate. 

The board, Pinellas chapter, seminar leaders, Mr. Lewis, all the volunteers, and members of the affiliate helped make this an awesome convention.

Thanks so much everyone for all the congratulations, confidence and support! I must say

that had I known Florida had such a wonderful group as the NFBF, we probably would 

have moved here long before we did. I'm looking forward to working with everyone and 

getting to know those who are new to me. Sherri, Sherrill, Kathy, Joe - you have all given

me wonderful examples of integrity, dedication and perseverance. 

I appreciate all of you so much!

Kirk, you should know that the FDCP was discussed. Rick Brown did a great job talking about the organization. Dan Hicks also said how pleased he is with its tremendous growth in such a short period of time. I chimed in that Lighthouse Central Florida has turned its entire donation and distribution program over to us and Holly told about the number of CCTV's and other items we have both collected and donated. We talked about the website as well. I will keep sending out e-mail to the list reminding them about this wonderful service you have founded that brings such joy to blind and visually impaired people. I am extremely proud of all you have accomplished. Now that Lenora has so ably taken the office of secretary, it frees up a little more of my time to help the FDCP. 

Congratulations to the new board members and officers. We do have a very strong and competent board. I really will miss knowing what's going on but will still be glad to help in whatever way I can. Lenora, I have two sets of minutes to finish, one for the last president's committee and one for the president's committee meeting that occurred at the Convention. I will keep the files of the minutes  I have taken as well as other correspondence on my computer if that meets with the Board's approval, but will also send them to you. 

Thanks to all for the opportunity to serve as secretary for the last 6 years and let me know in what ways I can continue to serve. Thank you. 

Sherri Brun 

PS:  Sherrill O'Brien talked about the Imagination Fund and the Race for Independence. I would urge all to sign up and get donations from your friends and family, but if you do not sign up or if you just want to help, please see the link below where you will go to my personal page. Remember the imagination fund comes back to Florida in many ways. 

Have you visited my personal page at

If so, Thank you for changing what it means to be blind. 

If not, please go there now! 

Thank you.
