<div style="color:;font: 10pt Helvetica Neue;">Hello<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"> Lorenha</span>
<div><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br>
</span></div>
<div><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Welcome to the writer's division. My name is Shawn Jacobson and I am the treasurer of the group.</span></div>
<div><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br>
</span></div>
<div><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I am 63 years old an am a high partial. I was born totallly blind but gained partial eyesight through several eye operations.</span></div>
<div><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br>
</span></div>
<div><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I mostly write science fiction, but I also write poetry along with some memoir and the occasional book review.</span></div>
<div><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br>
</span></div>
<div><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I appreciate the sentiment in what you wrote about not complaining about blindness. I do think that people born totally blind have less trouble here than do those who had sight at one time but have lost it later in life.</span></div>
<div><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br>
</span></div>
<div><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I saw in one of your Emails that you like Christian literature. Our next book club discussion will cover Zenna Henderson's people stories. The title of the book is Ingathering, the RC number is 50474. These stories are science fiction with a strong Christian bent; I find them to be well written. I think that if you read the book you will like the stories.</span></div>
<div><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br>
</span></div>
<div><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">As treasurer, may I sugggest that you may want to join the division if you have not done so already. Dues are $10 and entitle you to discounted entry fees for our annual writing contest. Dues also entitle you to copies of Slate and Style (the division newsletter) and to vote for dibvision officers.</span></div>
<div><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br>
</span></div>
<div><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Until later, good luck and good writing.<br>
</span><br>

<div dir="ltr">Hello.<br>
</div>
<div dir="ltr">This is Lorehna again. For some reason the file with my poem didn't go through so trying it again here!<br>
</div>
<div dir="ltr"> I won't Complain<br>
</div>
<div dir="ltr"><br>
</div>
<div dir="ltr">Everywhere I go people always ask me, Do you ever complain about being blind? Here is my answer:<br>
</div>
<div dir="ltr">I was born blind and the doctors told my parents that I would never see. My family always prayed every day for me but I new that God had a special plan for me. That is why I won't complain.<br>
</div>
<div dir="ltr">I may not be able to see the smiling faces of my friends and family but that's ok with me because I can hear a smile in their voice. I can feel their love in a warm embrace. I can hear happiness in their laughter. That is why I won't complain.<br>
</div>
<div dir="ltr">Do I wish I had sight? They say? That is not so important to me. The important thing to me is that I can see with my heart. I see people for who they are inside for the way God made them. That is why I won't complain.<br>
</div>
<div dir="ltr">Living the blind life does get hard but everything's alright because better days always come around. That is why I won't complain.<br>
</div>
<div dir="ltr">I don't feel like I'm missing out on anything because God made us all in different ways. He didn't give me eyes to see but I see in a unique way. That is why I won't complain.<br>
