Hey NFB Family and Friends,
I hope everyone had a great weekend! Happy Mothers Day to all the Moms out
there!!
Spotlight On
Blind people and firearms training?
On May 18, seven blind people will be participating in a firearms class at
Trouble Defense Services in Lorton, Virginia, at the Sharpshooters Range and
Gun Shop.
They will take part in a two-hour instructional class, and then have two
hours of range time.
Trouble DEfense has been accommodating and willing to host this class from
the start.
At the May 22nd Fairfax Chapter meeting, at least one (and very likely more)
of the attendees will share their experiences.
Do you find this idea terrifying? Insane? Exciting?
Come and hear about the experiences at Trouble DEfense.
Christine Grassman, President
Fairfax Chapter
Hello NFBV Family!
Are you stressed out? Do you feel like we need more JOY in our lives?
Your DEI Committee agrees with you!
Our next Fireside Chat is scheduled for Tuesday, May 27, 2025, from 7:00
p.m. to 9:00 p.m. on the Affiliate Zoom!
With all the doom and gloom happening in our world these days, we need to
add a little joy to the mix! We'll hit on celebrating joy in our lives and
share our stories, laughter, and yes...joy! This truly will be a time to
unwind, laugh and spend a relaxing evening with your NFB Family!
