I, too, was once a member of ACB. II t seems that there is much less
difference between the two organizations than there was before. I think that
it's sad that there can't be one strong organization for the blind. Katie,
music therapy went through the same thing, as you probably know. NAMT and
AAMT united to form AMTA, and the music therapy field is much better off. It
could be the same with the blind community. Different circumstances call for
different approaches.

Hello everyone,
Ohio has been sent forty Jernigan fund drawing tickets to sell. The proceeds
from this drawing go to assist first-time convention attendees. Each
ticket costs $10. The winner receives convention attendance for two people
and $1,000 cash to spend. The chapter or division of the person who sells
the winning ticket receives $500. Presidents of chapters and divisions
should let me know by email or phone how many tickets you and your members
can sell. I will send the tickets to you. Ohio will pay for these tickets if
they are not sold, as I understand it.

Each week @NFBCSDivision, the official twitter handle for the National
Federation of the Blind Community Service Division tweets out and re-tweets
out interesting, informative and inspiring content.
earlier this week the Presidential Proclamation for National Volunteer
Week was posted to the National Service blog and was tweeted out from there.
We re-tweeted this information and we thought we might share what you are
missing!
If you like, please feel free to share your thoughts on our 44th
president?s words.

2015 National Volunteer Week Presidential Proclamation
As a Nation, our greatest resource is our people. We each have the power to
strengthen the fabric of our society and make the world a better place.
Every day, Americans across the country realize this enormous potential
through service to others and by giving back to their communities. During
National Volunteer Week, we recognize those who embrace a life of active,
energetic, and engaged citizenship, and we reaffirm our belief that all
people have something to contribute to the American story.
This spirit of service is deeply embedded in our culture and vital to our
national character. It reflects the idea that we are each our brothers? and
our sisters? keepers, and it is a core part of being an American. Through
service, ordinary people can make an extraordinary impact. In times of
tragedy, volunteers are a source of comfort and resilience; in places of
great need, they offer hope and renew our faith that a brighter day lies
ahead; and in small neighborhoods and bustling cities, these dedicated
individuals help build ladders of opportunity for people of all ages and
backgrounds. Volunteers ? often with few resources and little recognition ?
make enormous sacrifices to lift up the people around them as well as those
they may never meet. As they do, they give new life to the values that bind
us together as Americans and to the promise that those who love their
country can change it.
My Administration is working to empower more Americans with opportunities to
give back to their neighborhoods and to our country, and we are committed to
supporting those who already do. That is why we created a task force to find
new ways to expand and improve national service. And last year we launched
the
<http://www.nationalservice.gov/special-initiatives/employers-national-service>
Employers of National Service initiativebecause we know those who are
passionate about making a difference in their communities have the talents
and experience to bolster our Nation?s workforce. Through the
<http://www.nationalservice.gov/> Corporation for National and Community
Service, we are investing in programs like
<http://www.nationalservice.gov/programs/americorps> AmeriCorps and
<http://www.nationalservice.gov/programs/senior-corps> Senior Corps, and we
have expanded the scope of these opportunities ? initiatives such as
<http://www.nationalservice.gov/programs/senior-corps> School Turnaround
AmeriCorps,
<http://www.nationalservice.gov/newsroom/press-releases/2014/justice-department-and-cncs-announce-new-partnership-enhance>
justice AmeriCorps, and
<http://www.nationalservice.gov/special-initiatives/task-force-expanding-national-service/stem-americorps>
STEM AmeriCorps are focusing on some of our country?s most pressing needs.
The unending task of perfecting our Nation does not fall to any one person
or to our Government alone ? and the solutions to the problems we face do
not lie beyond our reach. We must enlist all Americans in the effort to
build a better future for the next generation, and we should each make
service a lifelong commitment. Together, we can work to meet our Nation?s
challenges, not just for one day, but every day. This week, let us renew
our commitment to this important cause and rededicate ourselves to the work
ahead.
NOW, THEREFORE, I, BARACK OBAMA, President of the United States of America,
by virtue of the authority vested in me by the Constitution and the laws of
the United States, do hereby proclaim April 12 through April 18, 2015, as
National Volunteer Week. I call upon all Americans to observe this week by
volunteering in service projects across our country and pledging to make
service a part of their daily lives. To find a service opportunity nearby,
visit <http://www.serve.gov/> www.Serve.gov.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have hereunto set my hand this tenth day of April, in
the year of our Lord two thousand fifteen, and of the Independence of the
United States of America the two hundred and thirty-ninth.
BARACK OBAMA

Hi all,
One of the things I've been working on this semester, and talked a
little bit about on the list recently, is an organization for students
with disabilities and allies on UD's campus. My partner in crime in
this is another blind student, and it is interesting how things have
worked out. We seem to have very similar attitudes about independence
and are in agreement on how to work to make disability less of a taboo
topic of conversation on campus, but I'm a Federationist and she's an
ACB member. It's interesting because sometimes in conversations we'll
dance around mentioning the different organizations. For example, the
other day she said, "I went to a conference in October and-something
about BSVI." I know it was the ACB convention, so I'm wondering why
there needs to be the secrecy about it. I doubt she's intentionally
doing it-it's probably passed down through the generations.
I'm guilty of this, too. Though I have not been shy about my
allegiance and have specifically said things like, "I heard this at an
NFB thing," I have not done it as much as I normally would. I am also
guilty of not wanting to do anything with the ACB. Until Dr. Maurer
made a comment telling me I should apply for ACB scholarships at the
last conventions I never applied simply because I didn't agree with
the organization's approach. I also heard horror stories of NFB
people being announced as "The other camp" as they entered ACB
functions, and didn't want to be treated like that so I never thought
of attending anything they sponsored.
It really got me thinking about how the organizations are still at
odds with each other today. It's funny, too, because when I've
mentioned things like, "We could do something for Meet the Blind
Month," the reaction is just like, "Oh, an NFB thing." I wouldn't
quite describe it as disappointment, but definitely something along
those lines. While I personally don't agree with the approach the ACB
takes as an organization, I won't judge someone who does. I know a
few people who have had membership in both organizations
simultaneously and like them. I don't think I've ever met a full ACB
person, though, so this is something new. I really like her and her
attitude about things is very similar to mine, so this is puzzling me.
I would love to use opportunities in the club to promote things like
Meet the Blind Month, or use a fundraiser to possibly get some funds
for BELL as a service event, but in this instance I feel obligated to
keep it neutral. Thoughts?

Well, I too am a member of both organizations. I think for me, I agree
with some aspects of each organizations philosophies....and disagree with
others. I'm kind of that way with politics as well, I guess....in that, I
don't hold a hard party line. I think you can be a part of both if you
are
willing to respect and appreciate each organization's beliefs, strengths,
and what they can "bring to the table"....as I personally see merit in
both.
Just my thoughts!
Respectfully,
Nicole
