*A MESSAGE FROM OUR PRESIDENT*

to be successful. I thought I was ready for the real world... *more from

The National Federation of the Blind knows that blindness is not the
characteristic that defines blind people or their future. Every day we
raise the expectations of and for blind people, because low expectations
create obstacles between blind people and our dreams. We can live the lives
we want; blindness is not what holds us back. Please join us in our work by
becoming a member, attending an event, sharing this newsletter, or
supporting our programs.

A man has made at least a start on discovering the meaning of human life
when he plants shade trees under which he knows full well he will never sit.
