[NFBF-L] Blind Equality Achievement Month Activitires

[president at nfbflorida.org]

Greetings: 

 

I am pasting a message below from the President's Notebook regarding Blind
Equality Achievement Month activities. However, we would also like to know
if you are having any activities to celebrate blind people in October. Our
affiliate has a Face Book page and can post your activities. 

 

>From President Riccobono: 

 


Blind Equality Achievement Month Planning:


The National Federation of the Blind celebrates the organized blind movement
during October each year. Chapters across the country organize local
outreach events. Submit your events, activities, and celebrations to
web at nfb.org <mailto:web at nfb.org> , so they can be posted on
https://nfb.org/blind-month. Reminder: please use the terms Blind Equality
Achievement Month, Blind Month, or #BlindMonth when referring to and
promoting activities. 

Suggested idea for Blind Equality Achievement Month: Please consider
organizing an event for White Cane Awareness Day on October 15 with the
White Cane Awareness Day Proclamation template. The template is available to
print or share digitally. Fill in the details of your local area and
identify a city council member or mayor to sponsor the proclamation. Please
note that the event can also take place the weekend before or after October
15 if needed.
