[NFBV-Announce] What's happenin...Being Grateful and Zoom

[jackibruce6 at gmail.com]

Hey NFB Family and Friends,

 

I  hope everyone had a  Happy Thanksgiving. I  am very grateful to be so
blessed in my life and this time of year always makes me reflect on
everything I'm grateful for. Since I've become a  member of the NFBV, I
have more and more things to be grateful for. I'm grateful for the many
friends I've made. The opportunities I've had to learn more about computers,
zoom, marketing, fundraising and learning to say no. Learning and expanding
leadership  qualities from our many strong NFB leaders especially my friends
and mentors, Joe Orozco and our President, Tracy. To  have been elected as
the President of the Greater Williamsburg Chapter and Corresponding
Secretary.  The opportunity to be a  part of the solution by talking with
Senators and Congresspeople. I'm especially grateful for the many
opportunities to fail and learn from my mistakes without being ostracized.
Thank you, all of you, for being there for me and allowing me to be there
for you! Thank you for your trust and please know I  will continue to work
hard to keep that trust. I  will continue to gladly serve you and I'll do my
best every time for the foreseeable  future. Much love and thanks!

 

Kudos Corner.

 

Way to go you! Everyone . For all you do each and every day. We appreciate
you.

 

Spotlight On.

 

What are you doing this Wednesday evening? Say, at 7 PM?

 

How about a little entertainment to go with your dinner, or maybe a little
show to go with your after dinner beverage?

 

Project RISE cordially invites you to our first virtual talent show!

 

No ticket fees.

 

No leaving the comfort of your home.

 

No wondering what TV show you should binge watch next.

 

We have you covered, and we think you'll love the acts our students have to
share for your enjoyment.

 

So take a moment of your time. Come support our up and coming generation of
young leaders, and make them feel welcomed into the greater NFB family!

 

With plenty of entertainment, optimal comfort, and good vibes all around, it
sounds like a win/win. Please mark your calendars for 7  PM on December 1st
and join the fun, zoom details to follow.

Ladies Night! December 4th, Pajama Party and You Are Fabulous!  Get into
your comfy PJ's  and let's chat, chat about  whatever comes to mind. We will
also have a  guest, Marie from the nonprofit You Are Fabulous. Marie will
explain her vision and how she created her business to serve blind women to
look their best!  It will be a  game changing experience.

 

Everyone Should Have a Braille Buddy

 

Pour your coffee

Pour your tea

Find some paper

Get ready to key

Don't be shy

Braille is brilliant

Like stars in the sky
