Some good but more have been very challenging personally for our country and for our world. I know whenever I’m facing a struggle, I turn to my family and friends for comfort, answers, a hand to hold, a shoulder to cry on or an ear to listen. I challenge each of you to reach out to one of our NFB Family members and be a light in their day! Together we can obliviate the darkness! Try it…not only will you feel better but, more importantly, you will make someone else feel better.<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>Please join one of the below chapter or division meetings.
