[NFBF-L] Sad News

[DENISE VALKEMA]

This news makes me sad. Members of The greater Daytona Beach chapter, Karen, family, and  friends are in my thoughts.

Allen was a tremendous help to our organization and to many of us personally.

>> Dear NFBF Friends,
>> It is with great sadness that I must tell you that Allen Bornstein passed away this morning. Although Allen wasn’t able to attend state and national conventions for several years because of his poor health, he hung in there with the Greater Daytona Beach Chapter until recent months. Allen was also a devoted member of the Center for the Visually Impaired Board of Directors for years and years.
>> Many of you will remember Allen for his willingness to provide transportation and general assistance to the blind. He truly had a giving heart and he will be greatly missed. CVI is establishing the Humanitarian Award in Allen’s name that will be given to a deserving recipient each year.  
>> I don’t have Dwight Sayers email address but I know Dwight would want to know about Allen’s passing so if someone would forward this along, I would be most appreciative!

>> May this dear friend rest in peace!
