[NFBOH-Cleveland] Cleveland April Reminders

Wed Apr 29 22:22:01 UTC 2026

Good Evening, Cleveland Members,

I trust all is well with you, you and you!

We are approaching May and I am so encouraged that we will be able to
conduct even more outreach events in great weather.

I have only a few announcements.

///

Outreach Event

Details:

First, our outreach will begin with the movie "Michael."

I am elated that a few potential members will experience audio description
at its best this Sunday. They will have an opportunity to fellowship with
Cleveland members and our guests as well. Please be cognizant that we are
bound under the Code of Conduct in public and want to ensure a great and
positive impression on the potential members and the community.

Everyone attending the event must be present at the theater no later than
12:45 P.M. There will be a table to greet and meet you, and names will be
checked off as you enter. Note: if you are late, no one will be able to
return for you to assist in the theater. It is advised to put in a drop off
at 12:30PM and a return at 4:00 to 4:30 P.m. 

The address to Cedar and Lee Theater is 2163 Lee Road, Cleveland Heights,
Ohio 44118. Lastly, all audio description boxes have been assigned. However,
there are two tickets left for purchase.

For everyone's enjoyment, there will be a few door prizes!

For more information, contact Vice President Chacity Gilliam, (216)

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.
