Subject: Meet the Blind

SPRED The Word!!

Good Morning:

The Cleveland Chapter has organized a public walk in the Downtown area that will take place on October 3, 2012 at 11:45 AM.


The walk will begin behind Tower City on Huron Road  moving around public Square into the horseshoe Casino.

While we are marching, literature will be distributed to the public educating them on what it means to be blind, what do you do when you meet a blind person, the importance of cane travel and on other significant issues.

Once we embark upon the Casino, here we will introduce Braille playing cards, dice and other recreational tools that aid us in promoting fun, accessibility and independence.

For those of us who do not enjoy slot machines or table festivities, you can partake of the buffet and other attractions.  There are several guift shops and close by clothing stores for your pleasure.

However, the purpose of this endeavor is to prmote equality, liberty and enlightenment.  Please do not mistake why "meet the Blind" is vitally significant and one of NFB's initiatives.

This is an invitation for anyone who has a cane, a dog or sighted guide that is willing to promote awareness in Cleveland.  We would like to take over the City with you and your peers.  You do not need to be a member of the NFB of Ohio to participate.

For more information, contact William H. Turner, president of the Cleveland Chapter.
