[NFBOH-Cleveland] FW: Your help

[Octavia Culbert]

This is the third time I’ve received this same email. I have already emailed him.

Kindest Regards,
Octavia Culbert, Board Member of the NFB, Cleveland Chapter

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.

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.
