[Nfbf-l] 2012-04 Dining in the Dark Resolution Info

[Tinetta Cooper]

Hello Mark,

I must profess that I didn't understand the resolution at first.  My bad! 
Now that I have a clear picture, I believe the various DID events are not 
all bad.  Don't put yourself down, you have company :).

Tinetta

>> Hello,
>> I do not think you should judge all who put on a dining in the dark
>> event by this one article.
>> I am visually impaired and i also have attended and assisted with the
>> DID event put on by the lighthouse in Tallahassee and let me tell you
>> what good has come from this event.
>> First I will address the comment about the general public assuming we
>> do not have good manners. Well when the lights come up and the sighted
>> get to look around they learn that they are the ones with poor eating
>> skills. They have food on their clothes, the floor, table etc while the
>> blind and visually impaired do not. They are also the ones who were
>> unable to eat until the lights came back on while we had finished our
>> meal enjoying every bite.
>> We have been able to show and inn form hundreds of people about what it
>> really means to be blind or visually impaired.
>> we have also enlighten and educated doctors, nurses, so so many in the
>> medical field and taught them the importance of vision rehabilitation
>> and developed sound working relationships with them so when their
>> patience need our services they are happy to tell the person about the
>> services available and submit referrals so this person can get the
>> assistance to regain their independence.
>> We would never imply the blind can not cook or do anything else they
>> set their minds to.
>> Condemning all who have offered a DID event for the actions of others
>> to me is wrong and one sided.
>>
>> i just thought I would share my two cents not that it will matter at all.
>> Sincerely,
>> Toni King
