Debby, et al.
I completely agree with you that one can still care about their appearance without spending a load of money For example, I have several articles of clothing that came from thrift stores but no one would know it.

Hi just wanted to chime in here. Many of us care about how we look, but don't always have the money for manicures and all, but it doesn't cost tons to have a neat appearance and a pleasant demeanour.

Just like some sighted people don't seem to care about their appearance, some blind people don't either. I participated in a training at work last week conducted by a trainer contracted for by my employer. The trainer was fat and wore a tight t-shirt that was both inappropriate for the setting and emphasized his weight. He didn't seem to care much about his appearance and he is sighted.

I care about my appearance, but even though my eyes may not appear "normal," I don't plan on wearing sunglasses as I think that would not be consistent with current standards for dress and I also think it would harm my own self-esteem as it would make me feel like I have to hide my blindness.

I am careful to get a sense of what my coworkers wear and I dress in a similar manner than them or better.

I spend more on my clothes than I should so that I keep up with current fashion trends.

I find that most white canes besides not being effective look geeky, and I prefer the NFB's sleek, long fiberglass or carbon fiber white canes By the way, you can get a free one off the NFB website. I care about my watch, so I use a braille watch rather than a talking one as I don't like interrupting conversations or meetings with the talking and because I find the braille watches to be nicer looking.

Not sure if it's because I had sight for 26 years but I'm able to open my eyes all the way and look almost directly in people's eyes. Could this be because I've had sight? This is only for myself. I would not judge or think differently of anyone who didn't wear shells over shrunken, foggy-looking eyes.

For me, I would feel like wearing sunglasses would be hiding behind something and also catering to sighted people's stereotypes about blindness; that my eyes are somehow ugly and must not be seen by others. I believe that the way I carry myself and speak to others conveys who I am. Sighted people who are that hung up about eye contact will always find something to be uncomfortable about being around a blind person. I bought a T-shirt at state convention that sums in up, at least for me. It has the eye chart numbers in 2 columns on either side, and the words in the middle say (in smaller and smaller print as you look farther down) "I am who I am. Your approval is not needed"

Will the gates be open for the duration of our monthly meeting?
With the talent show and Ice Cream Social around the corner, Has it been

Say what, Chris?
You were at the meeting. Did your coffee have something in it I missed?
AS I say, the icecream social will be in the Old Main building on the WSSB
campus and the talent show may be held in the Fries auditorium upstairs.
Hospitality deals with arranging and encouraging social events for the
chapter. Transportation deals with affairs involving C-van and C-tran.
Membership deals with getting, keeping and encouraging new chapter members.
Public relations deals with publicizing the chapter and its events -- press
releases, announcing events in the Columbian and the like.
HTH!

Hello
Could you tell us about the intention of each group?
Will the gates be open for the duration of our monthly meeting?
With the talent show and Ice Cream Social around the corner, Has it been
decided exactly where everything is to happen?
Thanks

for us. So the chapter meetings will be held on the third Thursday of the
month starting at 5:30 PM in the air when building staff lounge. This is on
the site the Washington state school for the blind. Also we discussed
several potential fundraising ideas. But we came to no conclusions at this
time Pres. Watson also asked for volunteers to set on committees here is a
partial list of the committees that she is seeking people to volunteer to
help on. One public relations to hospitality three membership,, for

No problem, Chris.
I was giving you a bad time. I figured you had a halucinogen in your coffee to make you forgetful and wondered why I didn't get some!
