[Ohio-Talk] Evening agenda events for your consideration

Tue Jul 14 20:29:40 UTC 2020

That was a good one.

Richard Payne,  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.
