You can live the life you want; blindness is not what holds you back.

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.

The Columbia Chapter meeting was held on the 8th of April at 6:15 PM.
President Steve Cook called the meeting to order. Our NFB pledge was given
by jean Sutton.

The Pledge of Allegiance was brought to us by carolyn phillips who served
our country as a member of our National Guard.

Our one minute message was presented by  Rebekah Jean Breece. Wendall price
gave us a very nice devotion on serving God and using the gifts and tallents
that God has given us. 

We were then treated to a presentation by Gary Wunder, the Editor of the
Braille Monitor. He provided a brief  history of the publication,
information on where he hopes the publication will go in the future, and
ways we all can help, by reading it and writing for The Monitor.

We then heard from Mr. Andrew Adams who told us a bit about himself and how
he learned about the NFB. 

During the Chapter business part of the meeting, Tracy Spittle called roll,
read minutes, and acknowledged the April birthdays. Thom Spittle gave us a
financial report for the month.

In national news: We were reminded to sign up for the National Convention.
It will be held virtually this year, and is free of charge. 

Also, national is asking for donations for door prizes. 

On april 15th, there is a survivor task force call and another on the 18th. 

And, last, but certainly not least, on May 3rd there is a live presidential
release. 

We hope that you found this newsletter helpful in providing a quick overview
of this month's meeting. As always, if you have any questions, do not
hesitate to give President Cook a call at 803-254-0222.

Until Next Month,

Tracy Spittle 

Secretary, Columbia Chapter
