I know</span><br><span>that chapters have local projects, and this is very important. The lorane</span><br><span>chapter has donated $200.00 for the Washington seminar your chapter may not</span><br><span>be able to do that and may be able to do more. I know if the leaders promote</span><br><span>this it will happen. Please consider this and get back with me. The work</span><br><span>that is done on the national and state level helps us all.</span><br><span>I am also asking that chapters send at least two people to the Columbus</span><br><span>seminar. This event will be April 10 and it is very important to get people</span><br><span>to attend.</span><br><span></span><br><span>Richard Payne, President</span><br><span>National Federation of the Blind of Ohio</span><br><span>937-396-5573or 937/829/3368</span><br><span><a href="mailto:Rchpay7@gmail.com">Rchpay7@gmail.com</a></span><br><span>The National Federation of the Blind knows that blindness is not the</span><br><span>characteristic that defines you or your future.
