[Ohio-Talk] Happy New Year

[Richard Payne]

Greetings, I wholeheartedly agree happy new year and let's go build the
Federation.

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.

Happy new year fellow Federationists!
When saying good-bye to the current year and ringing in the new, we often
reflect on the past and look forward to the future with hope. This has been
a trying year for many of us as individuals, as a nation, and as an
organization. On a personal note I severed ties that should have been broken
many years ago, and I am glad I did. As a nation the covid-19 vaccine gave
us hope, but the refusal of all too many to get it has enabled the virus to
continue to plague our nation in so many ways. The National Federation of
the Blind has had a hard year as well, but already we have begun to right
the ship. 2022 will mark my 38th year as an active member of the National
Federation of the Blind.

I have personal hopes and dreams for the year ahead, and there is much I
hope we will accomplish  as a nation. But my strength and my greatest hope
rests in the National Federation of the Blind and the National Federation of
the Blind of Ohio. I know that as an organization we are unstoppable. We
will pass our Parental Rights bill in the coming year, and I am confident
that we can pass our accessible prescription  labeling bill as well. We have
strong leadership and committed members in this organization so I know this
and so much more is possible in 2022. As you plan for the year ahead resolve
to give just a little more to the National Federation of the Blind of Ohio.
Give a little more of you time, your energy, and your money to the
organization, and give a little more  of your love and understanding to each
other. I am pledging to do that here and now. I make this pledge to you the
members of the National Federation of the Blind of Ohio. If we all do this
we will have a tremendous new year as an organization and as individuals.
When we reach down deep and find ways to give just a little more to each
other we grow and prosper as individuals. Happy new year to all.

Eric
