Most of your friends are really busy with lots of stuff. We should be very thankful for having all those zoom meetings that are available through the chapter or the affiliate through which we are talking to each other and exchanging information.<o:p></o:p></p><p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p><p class="MsoNormal">I have been in three zoom meetings lately and I did not hear/see you there and you are not the only one. Honestly, I was thinking about you and other friends absence.<o:p></o:p></p><p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p><p class="MsoNormal">This pandemic drove us crazy and our leaders are doing their best to help us with the variety of programs to keep us informed and above the water. I am so grateful to all of them and what they are doing!<o:p></o:p></p><p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p><p class="MsoNormal">My advice to you is to be proactive and connect with NFB chapter/affiliate zoom meetings as much as you can and talk to your friends. As a matter of fact, you will have a chance to talk to many of them at the same time and not only one when using the phone.<o:p></o:p></p><p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p><p class="MsoNormal">Hope your Art work is progressing pretty well!<o:p></o:p></p><div><div style="border:none;border-top:solid #E1E1E1 1.0pt;padding:3.0pt 0in 0in 0in"><p class="MsoNormal"><b><o:p> </o:p></b></p><p class="MsoNormal"><b>Talk soon …<o:p></o:p></b></p><p class="MsoNormal"><b><o:p> </o:p></b></p><p class="MsoNormal"><b>HTH<o:p></o:p></b></p><p class="MsoNormal"><b><o:p> </o:p></b></p><p class="MsoNormal"><b>Have a great day.<o:p></o:p></b></p><p class="MsoNormal"><b><o:p> </o:p></b></p><p class="MsoNormal"><b>Ali<o:p></o:p></b></p><p class="MsoNormal"><b>Live the life you want … <o:p></o:p></b></p><p class="MsoNormal"><b><o:p> </o:p></b></p><p class="MsoNormal"><b>From:</b> NFBOH-Cleveland <nfboh-cleveland-bounces@nfbnet.org> <b>On Behalf Of </b>Owen McCafferty via NFBOH-Cleveland<br><b>Sent:</b> Tuesday, March 30, 2021 9:12 AM<br><b>To:</b> Suzanne Turner via NFBOH-Cleveland <nfboh-cleveland@nfbnet.org>; Cheryl Fields <cherylelaine1957@gmail.com>; Suzanne Turner <smturner.234@gmail.com>; Richard Payne <rchpay7@gmail.com>; Will Turner <turnerw794@gmail.com><br><b>Cc:</b> Owen McCafferty <ojmccaf1963@yahoo.com><br><b>Subject:</b> [NFBOH-Cleveland] Thinking about just leaving NFB<o:p></o:p></p></div></div><p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p><p class="MsoNormal">I know this past year has been a very difficult year for NFB dealing with this Pendemic, having to adjust everything being virtual or on Zoom but what I’m misding is that sense of community and fellowship and sad to say I’m not getting it here! Yes, we do have social media like Facebook, Twitter and even tiktik but it would be nice to get a one on one check up call or txt just to see how we have been dealing with this Pendemic!! <o:p></o:p></p><div><p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p></div><div><p class="MsoNormal">For me, I’m still working on my artwork, it’s been my therapy on dealing with my anxieties. I’ve been trying to get out and get active but its hard when you still have to wear a mask! I allready gotten my vaccinations. Trying to to use RTA more but NOW I heard RTA is planning on doing some cuts with routes thatmay effect me and trying to get information ob it. <o:p></o:p></p></div><div><p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p></div><div><p class="MsoNormal">Sorry if this post sounds like I’m complaining and I’ll probably get in trouble but it’s like i’m lost in the woods with you all! I was supposed to help Jim Wiess with the Cuyahoga Chapter website but I was told he resigned!! Whatever, I’m just very dissatisfied with the NFBO chapter of not checking on their members! <o:p></o:p></p></div><div><p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p></div><div><p class="MsoNormal">Thanks for everything <o:p></o:p></p></div><div><p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p></div><div><p class="MsoNormal">Owen <br><br><br><a href="https://overview.mail.yahoo.com/?.src=iOS">Sent from Yahoo Mail for iPhone</a><o:p></o:p></p></div></div></body></html>
