IMAGINEERING OUR FUTURE

President's Letter

  <https://nfb.org/sites/nfb.org/files/iof/iof-mar-on-orioles-ballfield.jpg>

Baseball a multisensory experience to begin with. One is bombarded by
ballpark sounds, smells, and tastes. Blind people find nonvisual techniques
and use our other senses to enjoy life.

The National Federation of the Blind knows that blindness is not the
characteristic that defines blind people or their future. Every day we raise
the expectations of and for blind people, because low expectations create
obstacles between blind people and our dreams. We can live the lives we
want; blindness is not what holds us back. Please join us in our work by
becoming a member, attending an event, sharing this newsletter, or
supporting our programs.
