[Nfbf-l] Cruise "clarification" please!

[Bill Outman]

Hi, Peter.  

I'm glad that conference call went well.  I will state that even though this cruise will be a tough lift for a lot of folks,  I'm not for any boycotts, formal or otherwise.  That would not be in anyone's interest, either in the short or long term.  

We need to do the best we can to work through the issues people may have, and continue to work to expand opportunities for the blind and visually impaired, as is this organization's charge.

Mr. Chairman,

Great Job! The only concern during the presidents meeting that sparked my curiosity happened while in discussion about the 2014 CruiseVention. 
It was stated several times by you Mr. Chairman that there might be some affiliate chapters demonstrating with a notion to boycott this
2014 venture, is that true? For heaven’s sake, we are NFB the largest advocacy body of the organized blind. We stand strong in our efforts, independent, hard working, technology oriented and dedicated in the cause to change what it means to be blind. The challenge on whether this venture is difficult, feasible or affordable should not play a factor, the bottom line is do you want to cruise or not want to cruise. 
"That simple!"

Peter Cerullo
