Greetings Fellow Federationists:
I spent the weekend at the baseball field watching my son along with his
Black Socks team win two games on Saturday and two games on Sunday to clench
the 12 youth championship! The third inning, the Black Socks were trailing
by seven runs. The umpires seemed to be calling plays in favor of the other
team. In the fourth inning, our team scored six runs. We were trailing by
one run. The next inning, we held the opponent to no runs scored, , and the
Black Socks were able to score five additional runs putting them ahead by
four runs. The final inning we scored an additional six runs sealing the
championship by ten runs. Many times, we see how far we have to go; it looks
too hard, too far, we cannot see the goal,, and we give up. Despite being
down by seven runs and the umpires calls in favor of the opponent, the Black
Socks kept their head in the game, their eye on the win. They did not give
up. They turned obstacles into opportunities, and in doing so, they stood on
the mound receiving their first prize rings.
As we turn toward the NFB of SC and the upcoming year, let's keep looking at
the windshield and not the rear view mirror. Let's look at what is in front
of us and not focus on what is behind us. Let's climb one step at a time and
not focus on the entire staircase. When things seem difficult, challenging,
tough, keep pushing, keep your eye on the prize. Maybe, its not a first
place ring like the Black Socks; maybe, it's building the NFB of SC; maybe,
it's increasing membership and outreach; maybe, it's changing what it means
to be blind; and hopefully, it's living the lives we want with love, hope
and determination. Now, keep your eye on the prize and let's go build the
Federation!
Palmetto Connects, Monday, August 30
Palmetto Connects will be held Monday, August 30 at 6:00 PM Eastern on the
Federation zoom platform. I look forward to seeing all of you for happenings
in the NFB of SC!

our community will enjoy!

Greetings Fellow Federationists:
I spent the weekend at the baseball field watching my son along with his
Black Socks team win two games on Saturday and two games on Sunday to clench
the 12 youth championship! The third inning, the Black Socks were trailing
by seven runs. The umpires seemed to be calling plays in favor of the other
team. In the fourth inning, our team scored six runs. We were trailing by
one run. The next inning, we held the opponent to no runs scored, , and the
Black Socks were able to score five additional runs putting them ahead by
four runs. The final inning we scored an additional six runs sealing the
championship by ten runs. Many times, we see how far we have to go; it looks
too hard, too far, we cannot see the goal,, and we give up. Despite being
down by seven runs and the umpires calls in favor of the opponent, the Black
Socks kept their head in the game, their eye on the win. They did not give
up. They turned obstacles into opportunities, and in doing so, they stood on
the mound receiving their first prize rings.
As we turn toward the NFB of SC and the upcoming year, let's keep looking at
the windshield and not the rear view mirror. Let's look at what is in front
of us and not focus on what is behind us. Let's climb one step at a time and
not focus on the entire staircase. When things seem difficult, challenging,
tough, keep pushing, keep your eye on the prize. Maybe, its not a first
place ring like the Black Socks; maybe, it's building the NFB of SC; maybe,
it's increasing membership and outreach; maybe, it's changing what it means
to be blind; and hopefully, it's living the lives we want with love, hope
and determination. Now, keep your eye on the prize and let's go build the
Federation!
Palmetto Connects, Monday, August 30
Palmetto Connects will be held Monday, August 30 at 6:00 PM Eastern on the
Federation zoom platform. I look forward to seeing all of you for happenings

Fascinating Facts
In their lifetime, the average person walks the equivalent of five times
around the Earth.
Joke of the Week

Because then they'd be bagels.
Final Thought
* "Never allow the fear of striking out keep you from playing the
game." - Babe Ruth
If you have read to the end of this positive note ,what would you like me to
know about you? Fascinating fact about you? Something that I don't know

NFB Pledge
I pledge to participate actively in the effort of the National Federation of
the Blind to achieve equality, opportunity, and security for the blind; to
support the policies and programs of the Federation; and to abide by its
constitution.
NFB One Minute Message
"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."
