[Ohio-talk] For the NFB of Toledo, Ohio

Tue Jun 2 08:43:08 UTC 2009

Hello All,

Below are some resources for the Toledo Chapter

I read this just this morning, from the June '09 issue of the Braille
Monitor, Monitor Miniatures section:
"New Chapter:
On April 18, 2009, the NFB of Greater Toledo was established. The
officers of the new chapter are president, Eric Burghardt; vice president,
Colleen Roth; secretary, Ann Pacelli; treasurer, Marilee Medlen; and board
member, Hannah Furney. The Ohio affiliate is delighted to have a chapter
again in Toledo, and we are expecting great things from this energetic
group."

Congratulations!  "Good work," all who were involved.

Maybe some of the resources I've gathered for your area, below, can help you
now.

Strive On!
