This is a big one! You may know that on December 16<sup>th</sup> we posted open letters of apology from the President of the National Federation of the Blind Mark Riccobono, as well as from our NFBCO State President Scott LaBarre. We hope you will read those letters. <a href="https://theblindcoloradan.blogspot.com/2020/12/the-whole-truth-and-nothing-but-truth.html">This issue</a> will shine a light on some of the issues Misters Riccobono and LaBarre deal with in those letters. But, we also highlight the variety of activities and the love always present in the National Federation of the Blind of Colorado.
