I have updated some information.  See below.

Friday, the estimation from Carol and those that contacted members, we are 
nearing 100 phone calls/emails to Governor Murphy to reinstate and rehire 
Daniel Frye as the Executive Director of the New Jersey Commission for the 
Blind and Visually Impaired.
The first notice was forward to all on our distribution list and Carol 
Castellano distributed to the parents list.
In addition, many have and please continue to post on Facebook.
Please continue to support the rehiring of Dan Frye by reading and acting 
upon the information provided in this message.
For those that have made the phone calls, emailed the Governor and mailed a 
hard copy, I and others thank you.
For those that did not make phone calls, write an email to the Governor and 
mailed him a hard copy, please do so.
DON’T HESITATE!

Greetings to all!



We in the blindness community are concerned over the dismissal of Dan Frye

as Executive Director, which occurred on Monday, Jan. 15, and the future of

the NJ Commission for the Blind and Visually Impaired.



In an effort to preserve high-quality services, we are aiming to have 200

blind people and parents of blind children call the Statehouse  Monday, 
January 22 and or Tuesday, January 23 and then to follow up with an email 
and a letter.  We want them to

take notice!



We need to explain two things to our new Governor:



1. Dan Frye was the best thing to happen to blind people and the Commission 
in years.  He should rehire Dan to lead the Commission.



2. The Commission for the Blind is the most important agency in the lives of 
blind New Jerseyans because it provides services specific to blindness.

It is critical to keep it healthy and strong.



The number to call is 609-292-6000.  Tell them you want to leave a message

for the Governor and they will put you through to the Governor's office.



After you make your call, email the message to the Governor at

constituent.relations at nj.gov.



Then send the same message in a letter to:



Office of the Governor

PO Box 001

Trenton, NJ 08625



If you can, let Carol and or me  know when you've made your call.



Carol
