<b>A MESSAGE FROM OUR PRESIDENT</b><br>
I know of nothing more powerful in life than when a group of people come
together for a common purpose. We enhance that power when the individuals
are volunteerswhen they are driven by purpose and action rather than
compensation...<a href="https://nfb.org/sites/all/modules/civicrm/extern/url.php?u=9708&qid=1985066">

The National Federation of the Blind knows that blindness is not the
characteristic that defines blind people or their future. Every day we
raise the expectations of and for blind people, because low expectations
create obstacles between blind people and our dreams. We can live the
lives we want; blindness is not what holds us back. Please join us in our
work by becoming a member, attending an event, sharing this newsletter or
supporting our programs.</td></tr>
