> Thank you for joining us for the NFB Indiana 2022 State convention, held virtually using Zoom Conference, October 6, 7, 8 and 9. Our theme this year is “Healthy Wealthy and Wise!” There is no cost to participate, so we hope you will invite every person you feel may benefit. However, donations are appreciated, and help us assist blind Hoosiers. As an added incentive, for each $20 you donate now through October 8 at 6PM Eastern, your name will be entered in to a drawing to win a like-new Perkins brailler valued at $700.

> If you live in Indiana, or are moving to Indiana, we invite you to apply to Join the NFB of Indiana. Meet other awesome and interesting blind persons, just like you! If you do not know which chapter you are interested in, choose the option labeled “Unsure”. If you are in rural Indiana, or prefer not to travel to in-person meetings, you may wish to choose the AT Large chapter which covers the entire state and meets monthly using zoom conference. Someone from the chapter you have requested to join will reach out to you. Once the chapter has voted you in as a new member, you will receive a packet of information about the National Federation of the Blind, and a coin to show your support.

Every day we raise the expectations of blind people because low expectations create obstacles between blind people and our dreams. Live the life you want! Blindness is not what holds you back!
