Sheri, what dates in this project should be in the activities calendar of the newsletter that is about to go out? I have May 7, but this raffel might hae some dates that we should list. 

Help me out here,

The National Federation of the Blind knows that blindness is not the characteristic that defines you or your future. Every day we raise the expectations of blind people, because low expectations create obstacles between blind people and our dreams. You can live the life you want; blindness is not what holds you back.
