[Nfbf-l] REMINDER, Blind Parents Meeting Tonight and Goals/Mission Statement

Wed Aug 15 02:12:39 UTC 2018

Thank you for your advice. I was trying to figure out how to add the wording for grandparents, but then I didn’t want everyone yelling at me to say, well you need to include aunts, uncles, cousins etc. So, that was kind of why I made the notes portion at the bottom of the document, and it stated that we would be of assistance to any other relative or caregiver who was blind. I appreciate your advice. If you could think of a creative way to add in everyone else, please feel free to share

Nicole, here's a little suggestion for the mission statement: 
This would be to include grandparents as well as parents. In my case I
raised my 3 sighted children and now they have their own sighted children.
Sometimes there are matters that blind grandparents need guidance,
suggestions or who could be of help to other parents or grandparents who are
blind. 

Just my two cents worth. 

Kathy

Hi Nicole,
I called in to the conference about a half hour late but guess the meeting
was already over. So sorry I didn't get the message until a few minutes ago
when I sat down at my computer. 

Hope the meeting went well,
