Greetings from the NFB Community Service Division. We greet you to
let you know that we are excited to work alongside our brothers and
sisters in the movement. We are eager to hear from you on how we may work
together to serve our communities and build the Federation through that
service. With this in mind, we are planning an open call so that you may
meet the board of directors of our division, the committees they chair,
and how you can become involved in building this truly exciting
division. We want to discuss with you what programs we build and
decide the people who shall help build them. The call will take place on
Sunday, August 30 at 7 p.m. Eastern time. <br>
No matter how involved you have been in the division in the
past or how new you are to the Federation, you are welcome
and we look forward to hearing from you.<br>
In the meantime, please be in touch should you have any thoughts or
questions.<br>
We look forward to working with you to expand community service
opportunities for the blind all throughout our nation and our
movement, as well as to create a platform that promotes the recognition
of the true capacity of the blind.<br>
<br>
Let’s live the lives we want through service; let’s get
involved!<br>
<br>
Thanks,<br>
Darian<br>

The National Federation of the Blind knows that blindness is not the<br>
characteristic that defines you or your future. Every day we raise
the<br>
expectations of blind people, because low expectations create
obstacles<br>
between blind people and our dreams. You can live the life you want;<br>
blindness is not what holds you back.<br>
“We need your service, right now, at this moment - our moment -
in history. I'm not going to tell you what your role should be; that's
for you to discover. But I am going to ask you to play your part; ask you
to stand up; ask you to put your foot firmly into the current of
history” Barack Obama <br>
Did you know that your unwanted vehicle can be just
what is needed to help
drive change for the blind .<br>
