[NFBMI-Talk] NFBMI Tapping with the Tigers 2024

Terrific Tuesday Federation Family,

 

It's a wonderful beginning of the change in weather, indicating the start of
autumn. Though football season is upon us, baseball is still in full swing,
and the Federation seems to have a tremendous touch of Tiger tenacity. So
much so, that the Detroit Tigers recognized the National Federation of the
Blind of Michigan and invited our affiliate to spend a day supporting our
MLB treasure as they play the Chicago White Sox at home! I have included
details about the game below:

 

Game Date: Sunday, September 29, 2024

First Pitch: 3:10pm

Location: Comerica Park (Detroit, MI)

 

Our affiliate is incredibly grateful to the Tigers organization for their
generosity and are excited to join so many fans on this afternoon in a day
of awareness, fellowship, and fun. As our affiliate received this donation
and our state board understands the love of the Tigers stretches across
Michigan, I encourage active members to contact their chapter or division
president if they are interested in attending this event before September 15
to be considered. The Tapping with the Tigers activity is both a social
event and an awareness activity that serves as a great way to prepare our
affiliate and the public for Blind Equality Achievement Month (BEAM), so
please submit serious inquiries to your chapter or division president if you
believe you are comfortable meeting the expectation of being a Federation
ambassador. We look forward to your company in a few weeks in Detroit,
cheering the Tigers and representing the blind people's movement.

 

Respectfully,

 

 

Robert Parsons, Jr., M. A., CRC, CVRT, LLPC

President, National Federation of the Blind of Michigan
