Springfield chapter has busy Blind Equality Achievement month

We started the month off on October 1 with the board meeting with Becky Boyer, Hal Boyer and Janice Grisham attending, we had our monthly meeting at our new location at The Station Library on North Kansas in Springfield.  
On October 13 in a joint adventure with the Springfield Chapter, Mary‘s Braille Transcription  Services , and The Missouri Council of the Blind we met with Mayor Ken McClure of Springfield where he Signed the White Cane proclamation for October 15.  Than on October 15 we had our annual garage sale which was very successful.  We finish the month off on October 28, with a track or treat at the Springfield Cardinals Hammons field presented by Mediacom and Springfield Cardinals.  This is where we set up a booth along the warning track on the baseball field along with other exhibitors we dressed in costumes and passed out tons of cheeseballs and braille cards and other literature provided by the national office. The braille cards seem to be a hit.  It was a long and tiring day. The teenagers even enjoyed helping along with our little ones  dressed in their costumes and passed out the cheeseballs and literature. Don’t know what we would’ve done without their help.   we are definitely looking forward to doing it again next year it was a blast.
Hope everyone else had a successful Blind Equality Achievement Month. 
Let’s go live the life we want!
