[Ohio-Talk] A Brief Summary of Last Night's Rookie Round up meeting

[Barbara Pierce]

That is a great summary of the meeting.

Thanks,

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