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.

On June, 10, 2021, the Columbia chapter of the National Federation of the Blind of South Carolina held its first in person meeting since March of 2020. There were approximately 30 people who met at the Center, and another 14 or so who joined via zoom. This was the month to celebrate fathers.
The Pledge of Allegiance was led by David Bundy; the one minute message by Thom Spittle; and the NFB Pledge by David Houck. Andrew Adams provided our devotion, and Ike Nelson Welcomed visitors.
Our guest speaker was Frank Coppel. Frank spoke on the history of Father’s Day, wisdom of his father, and his personal prospective as a father of two.
In national news, Steve Cook, reminded us to join in on the National Convention next month. 
On the local scene we were reminded that there will be a van leaving the Center at 12:30 on August 20th going to the State Convention in Charleston. If you wish to ride, you must contact Steve, and pay the $25 fee to Thom Spittle before you are added to the list. 
Our Trivia question for the month was: How many blind people have climbed Mount Everest? David Bundy provided the correct answer, which was 3.
We look forward to seeing you all in person at our July Meeting on July 15th. This change is so we do not conflict with the National Convention. We can’t wait to see you all there!
