A Resolution Concerning the Name "Frugal Federationist"

 

WHEREAS, the National Federation of the Blind of Missouri has historically
and proudly used the name "Frugal Federationist" to embody principles of
economic efficiency and identity within the Federation; and

 

WHEREAS, the name "Frugal Federationist" is not only memorable but also
carries significant meaning through its alliteration and the clarity of the
terms used, effectively representing the value the Federation holds in
saving its members money and offering even greater value; and

 

WHEREAS, the recent decision to abandon the name "Frugal Federationist" in
favor of a new, yet notably less memorable and impactful name, has caused
confusion and a sense of loss among the members of the Jefferson City
chapter; and

 

WHEREAS, the clarity and alliterative charm of the original name "Frugal
Federationist" significantly contribute to the identity and branding of the
Federation, making it a valuable asset for communication and member
engagement: NOW, THEREFORE:

 

BE IT RESOLVED that the National Federation of the Blind of Missouri's
Jefferson City Chapter  strongly urges the reconsideration of the name
change from "Frugal Federationist" to the new, easily forgettable name; and

 

BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the Jefferson City Chapter of the National
Federation of the Blind of Missouri respectfully requests the restoration of
the original name "Frugal Federationist," highlighting its ease of recall,
alliteration, and the clear representation of the Federation's values; and

BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that this resolution is presented with the hope that
the convention will accept it with the levity intended and grant it whatever
weight the convention sees fit in terms of the name we use to extend
bargains to our fellow Federationists.

The National Federation of the Blind 
knows that blindness is not the characteristic that defines you or your 
future. Every day we raise the expectations of blind people, because low 
expectations create obstacles between blind people and our dreams. You can 
live the life you want; blindness is not what holds you back.
