Sometimes we feel alone or isolated, and we don't realize how interconnected we are with our Federation family across the country, maybe we haven't met members of the Federation from other states before or have not yet been to a national convention. It is our goal to break down some of those geographic barriers and help everyone feel more one in the Federation by introducing you to members from across the country. Please see the meeting details below and I hope you will join us on the call tomorrow night!<o:p></o:p></p><p>The National Federation of the Blind of North Dakota will be hosting a Zoom meeting on May 12 at 7 PM Central Time.<o:p></o:p></p><p>Mentor Our Members: Adelmo Vigil<o:p></o:p></p><p>Join us for an inspirational interview with Adelmo Vigil, National Federation of the Blind, Board Member and President of the National Federation of the Blind of New Mexico, for a conversation about his journey in life as a blind person.<o:p></o:p></p><p>We will talk about his life growing up on a ranch, overcoming artificial barriers in the public school system as a student, and learn how he triumphed over discrimination when starting out with his first career.
