Cleveland Members,
I am trusting that all is well and you are staying safe.
Again, thank you for a wonderful experience at our April meeting. I have
attended several Chapter meetings and they are introducing the team building
exercise that was introduced at our meeting. This is a great opportunity for
others to get to know members in neighboring chapters.
Congratulations! The Cleveland Chapter has been recognized for our
volunteerism by the National Community Service Committee. So, continue to
provide your service to the blind. The Chapter as a whole is offering much
support in the community and beyond. It is a privilege to be honored, but
our focus must remain on supporting, encouraging and realizing that those
who are blind in Northeast Ohio must learn that they can live their best
life.
Please continue to refer to, OhioTalk, your text, individual email,
Cleveland Facebook page, Cleveland voice box and Cleveland Listserve for
updated information and activities. The voice box number is,

Announcement:
Cleveland Members,
In response to COVID-19, Lyft is offering free rides to blind riders using
the $25 valued code CVNFB25 until April 30, 2020, for essential services, as
deemed by your locality (i.e., grocery store, pharmacy, critical healthcare
services). Essential rides may include the following, subject to local
guidance:
* Rides to "essential services" as deemed by your locality (such as
grocery store, food bank, pharmacy, hardware store)
* Rides for families/caregivers/social workers to deliver needed
supplies or services for homebound and/or self-isolating people (such as
older adults)
* Rides for senior citizens and other individuals to health
appointments
* Rides for senior citizens to go shopping during seniors-only
shopping hours at a grocery store
This offer is intended for NFB members. Please do not post this on social
media channels.
Limited quantity available. Max one redemption per user. Valid for rides
through April 30, 2020. Cannot be combined with other ride credits or
offers. Subject to Lyft's Terms of Service
<https://slack-redir.net/link?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.lyft.com%2Fterms> . All
riders are asked to stay home if they are sick, and should work with a
medical professional to discuss transportation options if they need to see a
doctor. Per the CDC, anyone who suspects they may have or is diagnosed with
COVID-19 should not use ridesharing.
In order to use the code, individuals who you approve must:
Contact the Ohio Affiliate, Richard Payne or Vice President, Suzanne Turner
for the code.

compatible mobile device
b. create and maintain an active Lyft account, including agreeing to
Lyft's Terms of Service.
c. successfully redeem the code in the Rider's Lyft App
d. take a standard ride on the Lyft App
(Note: for a ride taken by a rider that exceeds the amount of the Lyft code,
Lyft will charge the rider's personal payment method on file for the
remaining cost of the ride.)
Here are the upcoming events in the Zoom Platform. I have just inserted the

3: NFB of Ohio -- Tuesday, May 5, 2020, Time: 4:00 PM EDT.
Blind students are still in school, and blind job seekers are still
receiving services from Opportunities for Ohioans with Disabilities and the
Bureau of Services for the Visually Impaired. The agency has worked hard to
see that services have not been interrupted any more than the current
circumstances make it necessary to do so. Join us to learn how services are
being delivered remotely and what you should still expect from BSVI. Learn
what you should do if you need to apply for services, or if you are
experiencing interruptions in services for any reason.
This is not a forum for discussing individual concerns but rather to gain
information to benefit yourself and others in the blindness community.

4: NFB of Ohio -- Friday, May 8, 2020, Time: 7:00 EDT
Topic:
Women Blazing Trails from Within and Beyond!
Join Suzanne Turner, as she has an influential, and yet candid conversation
with several female leaders in the National Federation of the Blind
discussing, "when everyone is pulling at your strings, how do you keep from
unraveling? she will talk to Pam Allen, Jeannie Massay, Patricia Maurer,
Denise Avant, Barbara Pierce and others who will provide insight and take
questions on juggling family, advocacy and career; while developing into a
distinguished and experienced Leader in the movement. Thus, using real-life
experiences as they've climbed the ladder.
The NFB of Ohio hopes that this topic will help female members reach beyond
their comfort zone and explore strategies to eliminate feelings of
inadequacy and achieve authenticity; not only in the organization, but
across the world!
