[NFBOH-Cleveland] Youngstown Membership Envision Seminar

[Suzanne Turner]

Ohio,

 

On this past Saturday, the Ohio Membership Committee under the leadership of
our Affiliate President, Richard Payne, went into Youngstown Ohio at the
request of Dorothea Davis to provide that area with information about the
National Federation of the Blind. In attendance were several community
resources, such as the Department of Aging, the Western Regional Transit
Authority, Ohio Library for the Blind and Physically Disabled, Opportunities
for Ohioans with Disabilities and Magnifiers and More. Although, the
attendance was small, the atmosphere of the event was elevated by the
enthusiasm of those present. Ohio made connections with those networks that
will benefit blind individuals from Youngstown Ohio.

 

The Ohio membership Committee will return to Youngstown at a later date to
improve upon its efforts of reaching more blind Ohioans in hoping to form a
chapter. Until then, the Cleveland Chapter is honored to have Dorothea and
Destany as a member that will aide them to become powerful leaders when the
Chapter is formed. For those blind Youngstown individuals who attended, we
are optimistic that they will consider joining our organization. The Ohio
membership Committee  will keep NFB Ohio updated as we reach out inviting
them to become a member.

 

Finally, if there is an opportunity that the Ohio Membership Committee could
be a benefit to your Chapter, please reach out to Dr. Carolyn Peters or
myself. We would be honored to serve.

 

A thank you goes out to Dave Bertsch, Wayne Fletcher, Dorothea Davis,
Theresa McKenney and Regina Mason for supporting the Committee with this
endeavor.
