We have what we think are some great plans for 2012.  We want to drive to get more young people involved and interested which seems to be a difficult task but we are determined to reach out and pull them in.  We also want to get parents of blind children to come to our meetings as well.  We believe these two goals together will bring more youth to our group and help our membership to grow.  A committee was formed today with that in mind so we can get started.  This is just one of our new goals this year but we feel it is the most important.  We are excited about this and other challenges so here we go.

Thank you,
Jim Ellsworth
