Greetings to all!



We in the blindness community are concerned over the dismissal of Dan Frye

as Executive Director, which occurred on Monday, Jan. 15, and the future of

the NJ Commission for the Blind and Visually Impaired.



In an effort to preserve high-quality services, we are aiming to have 200

blind people and parents of blind children call the Statehouse today and

tomorrow and then to follow up with an email and a letter.  We want them to

take notice!



We need to explain two things to our new Governor:



1. Dan Frye was the best thing to happen to blind people and the
Commission in years.  He should rehire Dan to lead the Commission.



2. The Commission for the Blind is the most important agency in the
lives of blind New Jerseyans because it provides services specific to
blindness.

It is critical to keep it healthy and strong.



The number to call is 609-292-6000.  Tell them you want to leave a message

for the Governor and they will put you through to the Governor's office.



After you make your call, email the message to the Governor at

constituent.relations at nj.gov.



Then send the same message in a letter to:



Office of the Governor

PO Box 001

Trenton, NJ 08625



If you can, let me know when you've made your call.



Carol
