Subject: [Nfbmo] Kansas City Walk for  Independence

Today the Kansas City Chapter had its annual Walk for  Independence in
beautiful Loose Park. The Event was a success by any  measure. It was well
attended, we raised quite a bit of money for our  Federation, and we had 
lots
of good food and fun. President Wunder graced  us with his presence. We were
also pleased to be joined by members of our  Old Drum Chapter as well as
members of the Johnson County Kansas Chapter of  the NFB of Kansas.  This 
was
yet another opportunity to show other  park patrons that blind people are
normal, that the only difference between  us and then them is that we lack
eyesight. We showed that the blind like  anyone else enjoy getting together
with friends and having chicken at the  park on a beautiful Saturday. I was
also pleased to have my mom and dad at  the Walk. They got a chance to meet
some of my NFB friends. They will be  going to our chapter meeting next
Saturday where they will get a chance to  witness how the organized blind
manage their own affairs.

As Meet  the Blind Month in October approaches, keep in mind that it is not 
a
bad  idea to invite family members, friends, neighbors, co-workers,  church
members, etc, to our meetings and other events. These meeting and  other
events are not only for our benefit. They are a golden opportunity to  tell
the public our story, a story of challenges, and more importantly a  story 
of
triumph thanks to the NFB. 

Best Regards

Daniel  Garcia
First Vice-President, Kansas City Chapter National Federation of the  Blind
of  Missouri
