Hello!

 

As you may know, the Nebraska affiliate of the National Federation of the Blind does not currently have a dedicated group for parents - we are about to change that! 

 

Introducing the Parents Group! This group is for blind parents raising blind or sighted children and sighted parents raising blind children. The purpose is to create a pla 4thce to find information, resources, support, and friendship! 

 

I inquired about joining a parent group while attending our state convention back in April of this year. When I learned that there was not an active parents group but a desire for one - I felt This inner pull to fill that void!  My name is Lesa and I am so excited to connect with my fellow Nebraska NFB parents! 

 

If you are interested in creating or joining a parents group or division or even learning more about what it can offer you, I will be sending out an email with a more detailed overview of what to expect. It will also include a personal introduction of myself to kick off the start of Our recurring Member spotlight segment! Please respond to this email directly to be added to the list to receive future emails regarding the NFBN Parents Group  You may also contact me at my email address or phone number listed below with any questions.

 

Best wishes!

Subject: Please SHARE: Durable Medical Equipment Collection and Rehome Events in Lincoln and Scottsbluff

 

Hello Jamie!

 

I'm contacting you about two exciting events the Nebraska Recycling Council is hosting this summer!   We'd kindly ask if you would be willing to share the following information with your network/community. 

 

The Nebraska Recycling Council is hosting two FREE durable medical equipment collection and rehome events this summer in Lincoln and Scottsbluff, Nebraska. We hope to assist the disability community of Nebraska while also diverting waste from the landfill, recycling as much as we can and rehoming equipment that is still in good condition.

 

You can find dates/times/locations for both events on our website, as well as a list of accepted and not accepted items:  <https://nrcne.org/rescueandreuse/> https://nrcne.org/rescueandreuse/

 

We have created two facebook events ( <https://www.facebook.com/nebraskarecyclingcouncil> https://www.facebook.com/nebraskarecyclingcouncil) and are currently posting on social media weekly about these events, if you'd like to share with your social media followers. I have also attached promotional flyers that you are free to distribute. 

 

ALSO: we are offering FREE equipment moving assistance for both the Lincoln and Scottsbluff events. This assistance is limited! You only need to submit a form, outlining what equipment they have to donate and where it is located. 

 

Moving assistance form for Lincoln (due July 8):  <https://nrcne.org/lincoln-rescue-and-reuse-moving-assistance-request-information/> https://nrcne.org/lincoln-rescue-and-reuse-moving-assistance-request-information/

Moving assistance form for Scottsbluff (due July 15):  <https://nrcne.org/scottsbluff-rescue-reuse-moving-assistance-request-information/> https://nrcne.org/scottsbluff-rescue-reuse-moving-assistance-request-information/

 

This series of events is funded by the Nebraska Environmental Trust. We are thankful for our partners: Assistive Technology Partnership, Independence Rising, Keep Scottsbluff Gering Beautiful, Keep Omaha Beautiful and City of Kearney. We will be hosting events in Kearney and Omaha in 2025. 

 

If you have any questions, please respond to this email or contact Program Director Allison Majerus (amajerus at nrcne.org <mailto:amajerus at nrcne.org>  or 402-436-2384 ext. 102). 

 

Thank you!
