[NFBV-Announce] NFBV-At-Large September At Large chapter Zoom meeting announcement

From: Patrick Johnson, President

At Large Chapter

 

Greetings once again,

 

Labor Day is in our rearview mirror and local sports radio  has settled in
to yabber about college football for the next five months, 

and the last few holdouts have succumb to PSL madness, except me who
embraces pumpkin spice year round.  Can you believe state convention is a
month away, and this year I won't have the excuse of attending convention to
get out of those incipit Halloween parties!  Darn it, this also means I'll
have to share some of my candy stash with the little trick or treat booger
eaters  who dare wake the howling hounds of hell (I mean my rescue pups) and
ring my doorbell, instead of dumping the 20 pound bag of chocolate goodness
directly into my desk drawer.  It also means it is time for another At Large
chapter Zoom meeting.  Join me as we ready for state convention and the
start of the holiday season shortly there after.  If we have time we may
discuss one or both of the following.

 

"For centuries, society has defined blind people as one-dimensional,"
President Riccobono said in his banquet speech at #NFB26. "One synonymous
with incompetence, incapacity, and dependence on others. Even our creative
talents have been reduced to some divine gift meant to compensate for our
overwhelming deficiencies. But blind people, we know this is not the truth."
