    I apologize for using the listserv to post the NFB of Lexington Cardinal article.  We normally do not like to post such things in the listserv.  I was actually working with John in his e-mail arena and inadvertently got the article sent to all.  Smiles.  Kind Regards, Pam

  NFB of Lexington

  NFB of Lexington has lost yet another tenacious Chapter member!  Michael
  Freholm has moved onward to the Ashland KY area.  I do not believe he's lost
  to NFB, though, for his soon to be new bride- Kennetta Potter of the
  Office for the Blind - is sure to complement Mr. Freholm's NFB activity come
  September 4, 2010; as these two wonderful people will 'tie the knot',
  keeping in mind that little Miss Weslie Freholm will keep them both in line.

  NFB of Lexington has been coming along on the forward path in the usual
  "Changing What It Means to be Blind" tradition!  The Secretary of the chapter has had a rare opportunity to join old classmates of the
  graduating class of Cuba High School of 1969 to embark upon a motorcycle
  ride out across Missouri and Kansas.  John Glisson left Mayfield KY on May
  17 on 'A Wing & a Prayer', riding with the Burna Baptist Church Pastor on
  the tour pack of a big Honda Gold Wing and very much in prayer all the way.
  These guys met up with their multi-millionaire aircraft builder in Missouri
  with other classmates and the "Memory Riders" Kansas explosion was on!  John
  returned rejuvenated and ready to continue the NFB of Lexington progress in
  a finer fashion.

  New membership of the Chapter is taking an active leadership role as Mr.
  Todd Stephens was elected to serve as Vice President during the April Spring
  Luncheon and Elections meeting.  Currently, the Lexington Chapter Officers
  are:  President Pamela Roark-Glisson, Vice President Todd Stephens,
  Treasurer Desh Collier, Secretary John Glisson and Chaplain Harley Cannon.
  The team has fantastic plans for the Fall: September 18 2010 NFB Walk-A-Thon
  in the Merrick Park, Lexington-Fayette Urban County Government 2nd Sunday
  Community Awareness Event and "Meet the Blind Month" activities; not to
  mention plans to capitalize upon the September 24-October 10 2010 World
  Equestrian Games to be hosted in the 'Horse Capitol of the World'!  Regular
  monthly meetings continue, while NFB of Lexington partners with Independence
  Place, Inc. and the Kentuckiana Regional Group of the Blinded Veterans
  Association (BVA), Inc./Lexington in many meaningful endeavors on behalf of
  the blind of Central Kentucky.

  President Glisson often changes 'Hats' to accomplish meaningful work on
  behalf of the blind and individuals with disabilities in general across the
  Commonwealth.  July 20-26, 2010 has been such an occasion.  Serving as
  Executive Director of Independence Place, Inc., Pamela partnered with NFB
  Chapters, Leaders and members along with other disability rights and
  services private and public entities around Kentucky to host the 2010
  Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) Freedom Relay & Rally in the cities of
  Murray, Paducah, Hopkinsville, Bowling Green, Louisville, Florence, Ashland,
  Hazard, Williamsburg, Lexington and in Frankfort for the July 26, 2010 Grand
  Finale to celebrate 20 years of the ADA!  All around the state, Pamela met
  with fellow Federationists such as; President Dan Perry and members of the Murray Chapter, President Cathy
  Jackson in Louisville and Frankfort, long-time member, merchant and staunch
  advocate Charles Allen in Frankfort, as well as, George Stokes, of the Frankfort NFB chapter and State Vendor Committee, NFBK Secretary and NFB of Ashland President Laura Felty and other members periodically around the state.  The 'New Age Freedom
  Riders', in fact, were heavily enundated with Federationists- Pam and John Glisson,
  Brenda and Jackie Kimbro & Ashley Dixon, Dan and Anetta Perry, Barbara
  Monts, Desh Collier and Todd Stephens, along with disability rights
  advocates Dr. John Stephenson, Todd Steel, Daniel Wiggers and Mr. Arthur
  Campbell demonstrating to the Connonwealth that people with disabilities
  are respected and have the dedication and diligence to keep the 'Torch of
  Freedom' burning brightly in Kentucky!

  The KY NFB-NEWSLINE(R) remains a constant item on the front burner in Pam
  and John's lives!  The Breathitt County/Jackson Times-Voice has come on
  board to provide the KY Information Channel with the weekly publication
  reporting the news in and around Jackson KY.  The Troublesome Creek Times
  andMountain Eagle are other Appalachian weekly publications expected to be
  soon to follow!  The Kentucky Talking Book Library has begun to use the KY
  Information Channel to post the Library's Newsletter.  New subscribers begin
  to use Newsline on a regular basis.  Never cease to talk to your State
  Representatives about the importance of Newsline to YOU!  As is all funding,
  the money necessary to keep the newspaper reading service in Kentucky is
  always at RISK!  Currently, the National NFB-NEWSLINE(R) Team is financially
  carrying the Kentucky Service!  The 2005 5-year contract expired earlier
  this year, and budget deficits, Rehabilitation Services Administration (RSA)
  stringent regulations on state spending and other factors has caused more
  lengthy negotiations to maintain the KY NFB-NEWSLINE(R) in the Commonwealth.
  Do you want to continue to have the worldwide one-of-a-kind accessible
  electronic information service available to you?  Express the service's
  benefits to your State Representatives soon!

  For more information regarding NFB of Lexington, contact Pamela
  Roark-Glisson at (859) 335-9282 or by e-mail at pam.glisson at insightbb.com.
  Regular monthly Chapter meetings are held on the third Saturday unless otherwise
  notified.
