There was something very special about this one, however, that set the others apart, and I haven't quite put my finger on it yet. All I know is that we have such a great collective spirit, and our new members will only make that spirit stronger. Thank you NFB of Ohio for being a part of my life.

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.

Everything was very well done and professional and completely demonstrative of the abilities of the blind. I would challenge any organization of sighted people to do a better job, because they simply couldn’t.
