Colleagues, please read the message below and join me in thanking Cheryl
Fischer for all of her service to us over the past year and a half and I
don't know about you but I'm so glad that she is willing to continue this
very valuable service in a voluntary capacity.

 

This is the kind of commitment and enthusiasm that makes our affiliate as

Dear Dr. Smith, 

 

As we discussed Friday, I have enjoyed the work I've been doing with
Newsline in Ohio over the last year and a half or so, and I am very pleased
to continue on as a volunteer. 

 

I am a member of the NFB because I love the work that we do. I am now seeing
how my efforts concerning Newsline have paid off as more and more people are
being referred to us by BSVI and other Agencies serving the blind, by
doctors and optometrists, social workers, librarians, and teachers of the
visually impaired. I also hear from new Newsline subscribers (and from old
ones wanting to know what their codes are) that the buzz about Newsline
among blind people is growing in Ohio.

 

Newsline is an avenue through which we reach newly blind people and then are
able to provide them with encouragement and information about other
blindness resources which can improve their lives. My enthusiasm and
commitment to this outreach is as strong as ever. If the time comes that I
am unable to handle this responsibility, I will not hesitate to tell you so.

 

Sincerely,

 

Cheryl Fischer
