Greetings Federation Family,

 

I hope the holiday was refreshing! Fall is upon us, but as Midwesterners, I
know you are not fooled, right? We know that the fun comes when the winter
hits and this does include incredible activities that involve travel. Please
take out the following information about Ski for Light International, which
will take place in Wisconsin. Bob Hart, the recruitment coordinator, will be
present at our September NFBMI At Large meeting to answer questions that
affiliate members may have about this event. Please stay tuned for the
announcement of the At Large chapter meeting link, which will take place on
September 21 at 8pm.

 

"Ski for Light

Hunts for the Hodag in Rhinelander

 

Ski for Light (SFL) makes tracks to Rhinelander, Wisconsin January 28
through February 4, 2024. Ski for Light, an all-volunteer, non-profit
organization hosts an annual, week-long event where adults with visual or
mobility impairments learn the basics of cross-country skiing. During the
International Event, each blind/visually or mobility-impaired skier is
paired with an experienced, sighted cross-country skier who acts as ski
instructor and on-snow guide. The program emphasizes recreational trail
skiing, rather than competition, with the skier and guide deciding together
each day how far, how long, and on what kind of terrain they will ski.
Applications for all, including details about event fees and financial
assistance, will be available at < <http://www.sfl.org> www.sfl.org> "

 

With Love, Hope and Determination,
