[NFBOH-Cleveland] November Cleveland Chapter Updates

[Suzanne Turner]

Cleveland Members,

 

As we unwind  from the Ohio Convention, I want to share with you how elated
I am with the experiences from being with our members, presenters and new
Conrad's. This was an awesome Convention that our Affiliate President,
Richard Payne organized. I can not wait for next year.

 

I want to remind you that Chapter dues are here and you can bring them to
the Cleveland Chapter Christmas party. Also, please bring your Senior
Division dues as well. Dues are $10 with $5 for bereavement. So, $15 will be
needed to be a member of the Cleveland Chapter for 2024. 

 

However, Senior Division dues are just $5.

 

At the Convention, there were several elections and we will discuss those at
the party. Yes, we will have a short meeting just to catch everyone up to
date. I am looking forward to seeing everyone there. If you are bringing a
guest, please notify me first; as our members have first come, first serve.

 

The Cleveland Chapter party will be held on December 16th from 5 to 8 EST.
The location is,

Bodega Restaurant and Lounge

1854 Coventry, Cleveland, Heights Ohio 44118

Also, members have been invited to the Cuyahoga County Christmas party,
which will be held on December 9th from 4 to 8. The location is,

My Friend Restaurant

11616 Detroit Ave., Cleveland, Ohio 44102

Bring a gift worth $20, if you want to play, screw your neighbor.

 

Finally, on last year the Cleveland Chapter voted to participate with the
Circle City Chapter of Indiana, in their Angel Giving Program. We have a
family here in Ohio that will be honored. Ivory Thomas, who is visually
impaired. She has a ten year old son and resides in a near Toledo area.
Cleveland and partners will grant her $200 to help with making her life a
little easier. This event will be on December 2, 2023 from 2 to 4 EST. When
I receive the zoon info, I will share it.

 

Finally, please continue to collect shoes for our fundraiser. It will not
end until February. We should collect as many as you can to bring in
contributions to raise funds for our Chapter.

 

If I do not see or talk to you prior to the New Year. Merry Christmas and
Happy New Year.

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.
