Cleveland Members,

Please read this through to its entirety.

First, please keep Dr. Peters and Sherry Ruth in your prayers as they go through hardships at this time.

, thank you for a productive meeting last weekend. It was awesome. We had five visitors with one that joined. Please continue inviting members to our empowering, and yet influential organization.

I want to thank the 12 members who have committed to attend the 2025 Columbus Seminar.
Lorain, Zenobia, Theresa, Wilbert, Danielle, Natassha, Antonio, Delcenia, Shirley, Fletcher, Driver and myself.

We are organizing a second van to attend along side the full van. Chacity has expressed attending. If we get at least five more members, we will be good to go. The tentative fee for the second van is $65 and the shared hotel room fee is $75. Please act quickly so I can alert President Payne.

Secondly, I am requesting that all members email or text me your Ohio Representative and Ohio Senator name, phone number and district location. Please call: 614-752-9777. Provide your zip code and inform the operator that you are blind.

Here is the clerks info as well:
Ohio House: 6144663357
Ohio Senate: 6144664900

Thank you all.
Here is the Tentative Agenda:
Monday, April 14, from 3:00PM to 5:00PM -- Meet and Greet with influential Speakers and Dinner

Tuesday, April 15, at 7:30AM - Legislative Breakfast
We will then travel to the Ohio Capital to meet with Ohio Representatives and Ohio Senators.

Thank you!

Suzanne M. Hartfield Turner
National Federation of the Blind of Ohio, Vice President
Ohio Legislative Director
Cleveland Chapter, President

The National Federation of the Blind advances the lives of its members and all blind people in the United States. We know 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. Our collective power, determination, and diversity achieve the aspirations of all blind people.
