[NFBofSC] Seniors Speaking Out

[Shannon Cook]

Speaking of supporting our members accomplishments, I would like to
recognize James Byers of our Cherokee Chapter and Patrice Williams of our
Sumter chapter who are in Washington D. C. this week to advocate for more
funding being awarded to programs serving Older Blind people across the
country. They are representing South Carolina during this national push to
shine sunlight on this long-ignored significant need for those 55 and over.
The federal government awards approximately $10 per blind senior per year. I
am glad that our affiliate has two individuals who care deeply about this
issue. Thank you James and Patrice.

The greatest investment you can make in this world is kindness.
