Good day Federationists and Friends,

 

As many of you heard, a tornado hit Ruston, Louisiana, Thursday, April 25 at
2am. This tragic storm destroyed and damaged many homes of our Louisiana
family, but fortunately left our Federation folks healthy and untouched.
Louisiana is not only one of our 52 strong affiliates, but also the home of
our first NFB training center: the Louisiana Center for the Blind. The
damage requires financial means, something our chapter will be assisting
with in the coming weeks.

 

Please bring cash or check donations to tomorrow's chapter meeting,
Thursday, May 2. Evelyn will be collecting all monetary donations. Contact
her if you will be unable  to be present at the chapter meeting and she will
find a way to receive your contribution.

We are providing financial assistance to the Louisiana Center for the Blind,
trusting Executive Director Pam Allen to distribute funds as she sees most
helpful and beneficial.

Evelyn is a graduate of the Louisiana Center for the Blind's 9-month
program.

 

Thanking you in advance. 

 

Warmly, 

 

Evelyn Valdez

1st VP, Greater Alexandria Chapter
