[NHLakesChapter] Sharing my gratitude to all of you in an additional format

Tue Jun 13 15:27:13 UTC 2023

Hello Randy and all,

please forgive the lateness of my reply.

I have been seeing the msg’s and have meant to jump in sooner with a huge congrats to FIS as well as, to all of our incredible Equalizers team members for the fantastic success in raising funds for both orgs this year. However, as you will read on, my attention has been consumed with a family crisis and I have put all else on the back burner for quite some time.

I do though, shout out a humungus congratulations to everyone. Your hard work and dilligenge has paid off and we are so very appreciative to have a part in the sharing.

It is truly most important that we continue to work together to overcome all the obtacles that challenge us on a daily basis and to be there for one another to provide the immense support that we have enjoyed over so many years.

Having said that, I would also like to ask the afiliate to please keep in thoughts and prayers my niece, who is also Julie Clarks daughter, Kelly Clark.

Five weeks ago, Kelly suffered strokes on both sides of her brain and is still in ICU in an semi-communicative state. Progress has been very slow and we can only wait and pray for any further good reports to come in.

Once again, thanks to all for all you do and I will hope to chat with you all on Saturday in the meeting.

Many things to be addressed as far as the picnic and the state convention so, don’t miss it!!

Regards

Marie

Thank you all for the kind words and tremendous progress on so many fronts. The many comments have made me want to suggest that at an upcoming meeting perhaps we coul allocate a little time to discuss how to improve the partnership and mutual support between NFB-NH and Future In Sight.

Our team at Future In Sight is so amazingly grateful for what all of you did to support awareness and fundraising at the walk for sight. Every member of the team should be receiving regular mail, including a Braille version of this letter and some other comments. I wanted to ensure you all Received my gratitude in yet another format, this mailing list. I have been watching with both pride and appreciation through the entire process. Here is a paste of the letter I have sent to each member of the team. 

To my fellow Federationists!

I am so appreciative and proud of the NFB NH Affiliate for the hard work and success in supporting our Walk for Sight this year. Honestly, I was sad to not be on your roster as I value my being a member with you. Of course, as part of the Future In Sight Dream Team, we had such a fun competition for “top dog” as Swirl might call it. I may have barely sneaked past Fred as an individual but your team soundly rose above us, highlighting the value of a motivated team. We are all  ultimately working together towards a common vision. I know all of you understand how important it is to support each other in raising awareness as powerfully as possible. Additionally we need the essential fund raising to  ensure Future In Sight may provide the training, tools and services to all the people in NH who experience blindness and visual impairment. Together we are building a better future in sight for everyone!

There is much work ahead for all of us and I look forward to next year’s opportunity. I hope the competition will be fierce and fun once again with all of us gathering live to celebrate on May 18, 2024 at our Walk for Sight. Again, congratulations and thank you all.

Randy Pierce

President & CEO of Future In Sight

NFB Member of the NH Affiliate

Be well,

Randy Pierce
