<P class=MsoPlainText>On Sunday, August 13, 2017 in the town of Long Branch, the
second annual surfing for vision was held. There were over 30 surfers,
family members, volunteers and beachgoers that enjoyed the surfing, wave riding,
music from the Eddie Testa band.<o:p></o:p></P>
<P class=MsoPlainText><o:p><FONT size=3></FONT></o:p> </P>
<P class=MsoPlainText>From the members of the NFBNJ and especially those that
enjoyed the c, the spray of the ocean, the sand in our bathing suits, the summer
sun and the fun of the day, we thank Michael Benson, founder of the Visual
Experience Foundation, for his continued support to raise expectations to
demonstrate that there is life after blindness!<o:p></o:p></P>
