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.

Hey NFB Family and Friends,

What a  beautiful weekend! I  hope everyone had a  great week and had the
opportunity to spend time outside in the sunshine.  Registration is open for
our National Convention, anywhere and everywhere! Please register and join
us in July for a  fun filled week of interactive zoom, be with your friends
without leaving your living room!
