[NFBOH-Cleveland] FW: Your help

[Suzanne Turner]

This is from our State President


Because all of you are part of the leadership if you have not agreed to
serve please do.
		I am pasting  the 2018 committee appointments below.

Please let me know which committees you would like to serve on by November
25 .

If you want to chair a committee let me know that as well. I will take that
under  consideration. 

Also you will not be put on the committee just because you desire.   Just
because you were the chair previously or on a  particular committee this
year that will not confirm your being on the new committee.            If
you believe you should chair a committee let me know in detail why.
Do not assume anything. Right now this list is blank.

The National Federation of the Blind knows that blindness is not the
characteristic that defines you or your future. Every day we raise the
expectations of blind people, because low expectations create obstacles
between blind people and our dreams. You can live the life you want;
blindness is not what holds you back
