[NFBofSC] Goalball demo for NFB students

[Andrenia Corder]

Hi,

In South Carolina we have a lot of students that have been working on trying to get a Goalball team together for young adults that are transitioning to adult life. We are very interested in fostering a relationship to help get this started. Some of them will be coming with our affiliate to the National Convention.

Let me know how we can work together.

Looking forward to speaking with you soon!

Dear Lauren,

        Hello, my name is Jim Debus and my reason for writing today is to inquire  if NFB students would be interested in implementing a Goalball program at their respective college campuses or if we could plan to conduct a demonstration at this year’s national convention in Orlando in July. I am interested in growing the sport to a younger audience   to help keep  people who are blind & visually impaired physically active while promoting a sport that I have personally benefited from as the aspects of belonging to a team especially for an isolated population such as people with disabilities have provided me with invaluable experiences in my life through the forming of lifelong friendships and making of incredible memories.

          I have included on this message Mindy Cook who plays internationally and is a silver medalist from the 2020 Tokyo Paralympic Games. Any assistance you and the NFB Students  would be able to provide  would be greatly appreciated. Thank you for your time and I look forward to hearing from you.
Regards,

Jim Debus

students, please share this message with them.

Hey NABSters!



I hope everyone had a fabulous February!

Our next town hall will be taking place this Sunday, 03/03/2024 at 8:00 PM
EST in our usual zoom room. Here is a link to a google form where you can
submit any questions you may have; they can be about NABS itself or anything
blind student related. The form is anonymous with the option of including
your name and contact information. This can be a great way to get multiple
perspectives on a problem or help brainstorm ideas for self-advocacy. Feel
free to submit as many questions as you would like!

Form: https://forms.gle/67pAvT1cqTrBm95s8

Hope to see you all there!
