Michael<BR>Freholm has moved onward to the Ashland KY area. I do not believe he's lost<BR>to NFB, though, for his soon to be new bride- Kennetta Potter of the<BR>Office for the Blind - is sure to complement Mr. Freholm's NFB activity come<BR>September 4, 2010; as these two wonderful people will 'tie the knot',<BR>keeping in mind that little Miss Weslie Freholm will keep them both in line.<BR><BR>NFB of Lexington has been coming along on the forward path in the
usual<BR>"Changing What It Means to be Blind" tradition! The Secretary of the chapter has had a rare opportunity to join old classmates of the<BR>graduating class of Cuba High School of 1969 to embark upon a motorcycle<BR>ride out across Missouri and Kansas. John Glisson left Mayfield KY on May<BR>17 on 'A Wing & a Prayer', riding with the Burna Baptist Church Pastor on<BR>the tour pack of a big Honda Gold Wing and very much in prayer all the way.<BR>These guys met up with their multi-millionaire aircraft builder in Missouri<BR>with other classmates and the "Memory Riders" Kansas explosion was on! John<BR>returned rejuvenated and ready to continue the NFB of Lexington progress in<BR>a finer fashion.<BR><BR>New membership of the Chapter is taking an active leadership role as Mr.<BR>Todd Stephens was elected to serve as Vice President during the April Spring<BR>Luncheon and Elections meeting. Currently, the Lexington Chapter
Officers<BR>are: President Pamela Roark-Glisson, Vice President Todd Stephens,<BR>Treasurer Desh Collier, Secretary John Glisson and Chaplain Harley Cannon.<BR>The team has fantastic plans for the Fall: September 18 2010 NFB Walk-A-Thon<BR>in the Merrick Park, Lexington-Fayette Urban County Government 2nd Sunday<BR>Community Awareness Event and "Meet the Blind Month" activities; not to<BR>mention plans to capitalize upon the September 24-October 10 2010 World<BR>Equestrian Games to be hosted in the 'Horse Capitol of the World'! Regular<BR>monthly meetings continue, while NFB of Lexington partners with Independence<BR>Place, Inc. and the Kentuckiana Regional Group of the Blinded Veterans<BR>Association (BVA), Inc./Lexington in many meaningful endeavors on behalf of<BR>the blind of Central Kentucky.<BR><BR>President Glisson often changes 'Hats' to accomplish meaningful work on<BR>behalf of the blind and individuals with disabilities in general
across the<BR>Commonwealth. July 20-26, 2010 has been such an occasion. Serving as<BR>Executive Director of Independence Place, Inc., Pamela partnered with NFB<BR>Chapters, Leaders and members along with other disability rights and<BR>services private and public entities around Kentucky to host the 2010<BR>Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) Freedom Relay & Rally in the cities of<BR>Murray, Paducah, Hopkinsville, Bowling Green, Louisville, Florence, Ashland,<BR>Hazard, Williamsburg, Lexington and in Frankfort for the July 26, 2010 Grand<BR>Finale to celebrate 20 years of the ADA! All around the state, Pamela met<BR>with fellow Federationists such as; President Dan Perry and members of the Murray Chapter, President Cathy<BR>Jackson in Louisville and Frankfort, long-time member, merchant and staunch<BR>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<BR>Riders', in fact, were heavily enundated with Federationists- Pam and John Glisson,<BR>Brenda and Jackie Kimbro & Ashley Dixon, Dan and Anetta Perry, Barbara<BR>Monts, Desh Collier and Todd Stephens, along with disability rights<BR>advocates Dr. John Stephenson, Todd Steel, Daniel Wiggers and Mr. Arthur<BR>Campbell demonstrating to the Connonwealth that people with disabilities<BR>are respected and have the dedication and diligence to keep the 'Torch of<BR>Freedom' burning brightly in Kentucky!<BR><BR>The KY NFB-NEWSLINE(R) remains a constant item on the front burner in Pam<BR>and John's lives! The Breathitt County/Jackson Times-Voice has come on<BR>board to provide the KY Information Channel with the weekly publication<BR>reporting the news in and around Jackson KY. The Troublesome Creek Times<BR>andMountain
Eagle are other Appalachian weekly publications expected to be<BR>soon to follow! The Kentucky Talking Book Library has begun to use the KY<BR>Information Channel to post the Library's Newsletter. New subscribers begin<BR>to use Newsline on a regular basis. Never cease to talk to your State<BR>Representatives about the importance of Newsline to YOU! As is all funding,<BR>the money necessary to keep the newspaper reading service in Kentucky is<BR>always at RISK! Currently, the National NFB-NEWSLINE(R) Team is financially<BR>carrying the Kentucky Service! The 2005 5-year contract expired earlier<BR>this year, and budget deficits, Rehabilitation Services Administration (RSA)<BR>stringent regulations on state spending and other factors has caused more<BR>lengthy negotiations to maintain the KY NFB-NEWSLINE(R) in the Commonwealth.<BR>Do you want to continue to have the worldwide one-of-a-kind accessible<BR>electronic
information service available to you? Express the service's<BR>benefits to your State Representatives soon!<BR><BR>For more information regarding NFB of Lexington, contact Pamela<BR>Roark-Glisson at (859) 335-9282 or by e-mail at <A href="mailto:pam.glisson@insightbb.com" ymailto="mailto:pam.glisson@insightbb.com">pam.glisson@insightbb.com</A>.<BR>Regular monthly Chapter meetings are held on the third Saturday unless otherwise<BR>notified.<BR><BR>----- Original Message ----- From: <<A href="mailto:jbh_1926@yahoo.com" ymailto="mailto:jbh_1926@yahoo.com">jbh_1926@yahoo.com</A>><BR>To: "NFBK Listserv" <<A href="mailto:nfbk@nfbnet.org" ymailto="mailto:nfbk@nfbnet.org">nfbk@nfbnet.org</A>><BR>Sent: Saturday, July 31, 2010 11:07 AM<BR>Subject: [Nfbk] Reminder<BR><BR><BR>> Just a reminder to all Chapter & Division Presidents-Kentucky Round-UP<BR>> info is due TOMORROW!
