<p><span style='font-size:10.0pt'>Dear Colleagues,</span> <o:p></o:p></p>
<p><span style='font-size:10.0pt'> </span> <o:p></o:p></p>
<p><span style='font-size:10.0pt'>I hope that you are all doing well. I
am writing to tell you about what we are planning for Meet the Blind
Month. We are rolling out a pilot program called Who’s Whozit. This
program is targeted at school-aged children and the idea is to teach them about
blindness and dispel any misconceptions about blindness at an early age.
I have attached the MTBM campaign guide for this year, which explains the
program in more detail. Please note that this doesn’t mean that you can
not do any Meet the Blind Month activities you normally do—this is a pilot
program and you are not required to do it. If you or someone in your
affiliate wants to take on this project, that would be fantastic. </span><o:p></o:p></p>
<p><span style='font-size:10.0pt'> </span> <o:p></o:p></p>
<p><span style='font-size:10.0pt'>In addition, there is information about a
give-by-text program we are going to be starting that will benefit the
Imagination Fund. As you know, the fund benefits the Jernigan Institute,
as well as our state affiliates. We’d like your help in getting the word
out about this new program. If you talk to local groups, please ask them
to send a text. If you can get an announcement at high school sporting
events, or college or professional sporting events (maybe on the jumbo-tron),
that would be fabulous. Please note that while we have the information
for the texting, we do not yet have the program completely set up, so we have
not yet begun the program. I did want you to have the information so that
when it is ready, we will be ready.</span><o:p></o:p></p>
<p><span style='font-size:10.0pt'> </span> <o:p></o:p></p>
<p><span style='font-size:10.0pt'>If you have any questions about any of this
please let me know. We will have the literature order form for MTBM ready
to go on nfb.org later this week. Thank you so much!</span><o:p></o:p></p>
