[Ohio-talk] Fund Drive for individuals effected by Harvey

[Sheri Albers]

Hello Susan and all,
This was a topic that was discussed this weekend at my Leadership Seminar in
Baltimore. The message that President Riccobono would like me to convey is
that we are in constant contact with the Texas affiliate to find out what
will be the best possible way that the National Federation of the Blind can
help in this time of need for our members and their families. While there
are many agencies and organizations rushing down to Texas, and asking for
your money for relief efforts, we do not know if they will be specifically
reaching blind people who need help. We want to make sure that, as the NFB,
whatever we do, we make this a priority.
With that being said, I agree with sending any donations to our Treasurer,
Sherry Ruth, and having them set aside for Harvey Relief. President
Riccobono will then direct us what to do in order to concentrate our
efforts, to do the most good for our brothers and sisters who are enduring
this terrible hardship. In the meantime, if anyone knows of specific members
or families in need, please email President Riccobono, so they can be put on
his radar. 

Best Regards,
Sheri Albers, Vice President
National Federation of the Blind of Ohio

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.

Good afternoon federations of Ohio. I hape you are having a great day. I
know the weather is not the greatest. The other night I was thinking about
Harvey victims and emailed Richard about reaching out in a small for those
that need help.

What I am thinking about is that the different chapters donate what they can
for the relief effort. Chuck and Susan Conner, son Matt was involved in
Rockport where the hurricane landed first. I thought it would be good to
help that area get some help.

I think the best way to do this send donations to Sherry Ruth and mark it
for Harvey.

Thank you very much and if anyone has other suggestions please put your
thought down.

Susan Day
