Happy Valentine's Day, Friends,  and NFB Family!

 

To keep emails to a minimum, I will be sending notes on Mondays and
Thursdays. Monday will include mostly things happening in Alaska, while
Thursday's notes will focus on national events and information. I will be
sure to identify each time and these notes will be from my
lucas.bonnie at gmail <mailto:lucas.bonnie at gmail>  address. Hope that helps
anyone who feels that they are receiving too many emails.

The National Federation of the Blind knows that blindness is not the
characteristic that defines you or your future. Every day we raise the
expectations of blind people, because low expectations create obstacles
between blind people and our dreams. You can live the life you want;
blindness is not what holds you back.
