Positive Note 1835

Greetings Fellow Federationists:

 

To quote President Riccobono's October 1, 2018 Presidential release, he says
"not just to be a passenger in the organization, but to help propel it
forward, to participate actively, to be part of the mechanism that makes
change in society." Our NFB pledge urges each one of us to be an active
participant in the National Federation of the Blind. I implore you to answer
his calls to action. Answer, how can I propel the organization forward? How
can I be a mechanism for change in society? How can I be active in the NFB?
Most importantly, how can I do these things in a loving and positive way?
How can I make a real impact? 

 

While you contemplate this, also consider asking yourself "how can I
identify problems and resolve them? How do I lift up my leaders, my
followers, my fellow blind NFB member? Let's abandon strife, and instead
commit to lifting each other up. Let's replace personal conflict and
political maneuvers with our mission to empower the lives of the blind.
Because the NFB knows that only with love, hope and determination can  we
continue to achieve great things for the blind of South Carolina. A house
divided will fall, and it would hurt our fellow blind, when instead we
should be uplifting to all. 

 

As I reflect on our NFB pledge, I encourage all of you to read and recite
the pledge at each chapter meeting. Print the pledge in large print, Braille
and electronic format so it is accessible to everyone. When we are reading
it; reciting it, let's do what it urges us to do, be an active participant.
This means attending meetings, seminars, conventions; this means giving of
your time, your talents and your finances whenever you can; this means
taking your role seriously to build the Federation, and not just when it is
politically expedient.  Take seriously your role as a member, the most
important role; your role as a board member, a president of a chapter or
division, a chair or co-chair of a committee. This means supporting the
programs and policies. It means encouraging individuals. It means sharing
information about our organization. 

 

Learn the NFB pledge, read it at chapter meetings, and actively do what it
urges us to do as members. Be an active participant and not just a mere
passenger

 


Blind Equality Achievement Month, BEAM


 


Remember history. Advance equality. Celebrate accomplishments. Formerly
known as Meet the Blind Month, the National Federation of the Blind
celebrates the organized blind movement during October. Throughout the
month, our members conduct a variety of outreach activities in their local
communities. Many of these activities center on White Cane Awareness Day
which is October 15. What are your chapters doing to promote BEAM? Let's
have all BEAM events listed in the Positive Note!

 

Cherokee

The Cherokee chapter will be holding two community awareness events for
BEAM. The first one will be on Friday, October 15th from 11am-1pm at the
Jiggy Pig Restaurant in Gaffney. The second one will be at that same time
frame  on Saturday, October 30th at Zakary's Coffee Shop also in Gaffney.
Members will be greeting customers, handing out national, state, and chapter
literature and info, Braille alphabet cards, and will be doing Braille
reading and writing demonstrations. Donations will also be accepted during
the events as well. We are blessed with these two local businesses, both of
which several members frequent, who are going to allow us to set up a table
within their locations. The Jiggy Pig is an outdoor drive-in style setup but
people do walk up to the building to order and pick up their food. We are
hoping to garner some interest while people wait for their orders to be
filled. 

 

Sumter

The Sumter Chapter of the National Federation of the Blind of South Carolina
will observe "BEAM" at the Sumter County Fair!!! Our fair booth is located
inside the Sumter Civic Center, 700 W. Liberty Street, Sumter, SC 29150.

During "BEAM" our members will share information regarding blindness,
distribute brochures, demonstrate blind paraphernalia and solicit fundraiser
tickets for a drawing. These tickets are 3 for $5, a $25 gift card and the
grand prize will be an Echo Dot!!! You may CASHAPP to $NFBSumterChapter or
PayPal to 8039681018.

Please TEXT Andrew Adams, 803-269-3803 once you send the PayPal or CASHAPP

Who are We? NFB of SC!


 

I am excited to continue to learn about each of you and share your
interests, stories, goals, and your passion with our Federation family in
the Palmetto State. In this section, I will ask a question each week to get
to know you and for our Federation family to get to know you. Reflections
will be shared in future issues of the Positive Note and the Palmetto Blind.
I look forward to your contributions.

 

The question last week? Wy do you need the NFB? 

>From Demetrius Williford, President, Anderson Chapter

Well the reason why I join the national Federation of the blind Of South
Carolina was because of the fellowship that was displayed at a Christmas
event for the Anderson Chapter. Not only that the eagerness to learn how to
adjust the blindness from my visually impaired Family was absolutely
contagious.

Interacting with so many awesome individuals from the state has mold  me
into being the person that I am today

 

>From Melanie Torrance, Chair Diabetes Action Network Committee

Fear of blindness is what brought me to the NFB. Love, support, and

friendship is what keeps me here!

 

The question this week? How do you plan to be a more active, positive
member in the NFB of SC? If you feel you are very active, share with other
members what motivates you to be so active and involved? Please email your
reflections to

Jennifer.h.bazer at gmail.com <mailto:Jennifer.h.bazer at gmail.com> 

If you do not have email or not comfortable with technology, please call or
text me at 803-960-9977 so that I may capture your responses as well.

 


>From the We Care Committee


 


Please keep Bob parson and his family in your thoughts and prayers as he
recently lost his grandmother.

Also keep MS. Mary Belin who lost her husband James Belin.

James Belin

Today we celebrate the Home Going Service for Mr. James Luther Belin,
affectionately known as "Baby Belin". James departed this earthly life on
Wednesday, September 29, 2021 at McLeod Regional Medical Center, where the
reward of eternal life was given - and an eternity of bliss in heaven in the
presence of God the Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.

James was born, December 9, 1946, in Marion, South Carolina to the late
Willie Clarence Belin and the late Bertha Davis Belin. In his childhood
years, his family relocated to Pamplico, South Carolina. James graduated
from Gibbs High School. It was there while driving school bus, he decided
what his dream job would be: driving tractor trailer trucks. James went on
to have a 29-year career of driving trucks for a living.

It wasn't long after moving to Florence, South Carolina with his family,
James met the love of his life and lifelong partner, Mary Ann Anderson. They
were married on March 27, 1971. The couple just celebrated their 50th year
anniversary. This loving union was blessed with two children, a daughter
that preceded him in death, Shakever S. Richardson and a son, Shelton Belin.

James had a passion for singing; you would hear him singing as a part of the
Male Chorus at Wayside Chapel Baptist Church in Florence, South Carolina,
where he was a dedicated member for 40 plus years. In addition to the Male
Chorus, he dedicated his time at Wayside Chapel Baptist Church as a Trustee
and served in many other capacities.

James was preceded in death by his parents, Willie Clarence Belin and Bertha
Davis Belin; a daughter, Shakever S. Richardson; a brother, Willie Clarence
"Boy" Belin; two sisters, Renzella Burgess and Edith Belin; along with a few
cousins, aunts and uncles that went on to be with our Lord and Savior!

James leaves to cherish his precious memories: his loving wife, Mary Ann
Belin; a son, Shelton Belin; a stepson, Andrew Anderson; two grandchildren,
Phach Richardson and Keyavionn Richardson; two great- grandchildren, Jarrod
Kenyonn Patrick Rogers and Kason Kenyonn Richardson; two sisters, Louise B.
Anderson and Georgia May Belin; a brother, Gary "Toy" Belin; two uncles,
David Belin and Luther Belin; one aunt, Lucille Belin; two brothers-in-law,
Samuel (Gloria) Anderson and Cleveland Anderson; three sisters-in-law,
Martha Samuels, Irene (Paul) Brown, and Corinne (Johnny) Barr; and a host of
nephews, nieces, cousins, other relatives, and friends.

Please keep the family of James L. Belin in your thoughts and prayers

NFB One Minute Message 


 

"The National Federation of the Blind knows that blindness is not the

blindness is not what holds you back."
