[NFBV-Fairfax] NFBV23 virtual Session: Saving Lives, One Cane at a Time - October 30 at 7:00 PM ET

[amcarr1 at verizon.net]

Hello Everyone,

 

If you are free tomorrow night, see Tracy's below message about a virtual
event.

 

Also, if you have any old white canes you are no longer using, you can put
them to good use by donating them.  This week you have 3 ways to do this.

 

1.	If you are attending the Convention, bring them with you and add
them to our collection.
2.	If you are not going to convention and you can get them to my house
by Wednesday by 5pm, I will take them to convention for you.
3.	If you know of someone who lives near you and they are going to
convention, ask them if they will take your old cane to convention for
donation.

 

Join us on Monday evening and learn more about what the donation of your old
cane can do.

White canes help empower the blind and low vision with independence,

save lives in marginalized countries around the world by refurbishing and
distributing unused canes, and how you can help support putting an end to
