BlindAppointments


Hello everyone,

With recent appointments and re-appointments, NFBF and the Blind Community
in Florida will be very well represented with the Florida Rehabilitation
Council for the Blind. Congrats to Dwight Sayer for his appointment and Joe
Minichiello for his re- appointment! We now have four representatives on the
council. Gloria Mills Hicks, Dwight Sayer, Joe Minichiello, and myself,
Lenora Marten.

I received a call Monday morning from the Governor's Office of Appointments
and have been appointed to a 3 year term representing Parent Training. I am
very optimistic concerning this position and thankful for the opportunity to
voice the concerns of parents and blind children in Florida. Our meeting in
Daytona will be my first full meeting with the council. 

Below, you will find the council meeting details for Daytona. The public
forum will be tomorrow, Thursday, October 25 at 4pm. If you are close to the
