Greetings To All,

The Tallahassee NFB does White Cane Street crossing throughout the year.  We 
have large signs about the White Cane Law.  We cross major intersections and 
pass out flyers about the White Cane Law.  The Tallahassee Police is present 
during these events.  Tallahassee NFB is scheduled for another White Cane 
Law  Event this month.  I have contacted the President of Tallahassee 
Council of the Blind to invite them to participate in NFB Events of common 
interest.  Tallahassee NFB has offered to make the location where Robert was 
hit the next White Cane  Law   awareness street crossing   site.  I am 
working with TPD to assure all TPD personnel is aware of the White Cane Law. 
I was in a meeting with TPd staff  this week to revisit TPD' strategy for 
making TPD staff aware of the White Cane Law.  I will be contacting leaders 
of any other group who wish to join the Tallahassee NFB in our White Cane 
Law Events.  Tallahassee NFB has an assertive plan to contact law makers 
about increase in the related fines and other changes already  promoted by 
NFB.  The support of all in this effort is welcomed.
Johnnie Slaton, President
Tallahassee NFB
