[Ohio-talk] Cincinnati Chapter News

[Deanna Lewis]

It really was a wonderful event, and Sheri Albers gave a very touching and moving speech! Bravo!
The only thing that could have been better, was if it weren't so darn hot! I believe this was our hottest White Cane Walk ever.
PS: Suzanne, maybe we all can break out and do the Cha Cha Slide at Convention! It is definitely a good workout.

Good Morning NFB of Ohio,

On Monday, the NFB of Cincinnati celebrated White Cane Awareness Day and Meet the Blind Month in downtown Cincinnati. We met at City Hall and had Vice Mayor Christopher Smitherman read our two proclamations, while I spoke on the history behind the event. We then did our annual White Cane Walk to Fountain Square, where we had a Meet-And-Greet with the public to hand out literature, and broke out into dance, led by Clovernook Center for the Blind and Visually Impaired. It was a beautiful day in the Nati! Thank you to all who participated.

Here is the link to the news story from WCPO Channel 9:

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.
