>> Good morning colleagues,
>> I just wanted to let you all be aware that the scammers are getting more brazen. My southern Nevada chapter president received a text from somebody pretending to be me at 1 o’clock in the morning. This person asked her to purchase 5 gift cards at $200 each. They then asked her to send them a picture of the gift cards. She knew immediately that it was not me. I’m glad she trusted her God. She let them know that if they contacted her again she would contact the police. Scammers have attempted to get money by pretending to be me via email, but this is the first time they have a tempted over text. I’m sure I am not the only affiliate president that this has happened to.

> The National Federation of the Blind knows that blindness is not the characteristic that defines you or your future. Every day we raise the expectations of blind people, because low expectations create obstacles between blind people and our dreams. You can live the life you want; blindness is not what holds you back.
