IMAGINEERING OUR FUTURE

-------------------------

PRESIDENT'S MESSAGE

I thought I knew what the word "blind" meant until I met the members of the
National Federation of the Blind. Now I use the word with confidence and
back it up with actions. Read more from President Riccobono [2].

WE EXPECT EMPLOYMENT

"The employment committee is near and dear to me because I am one of those
individuals that ended up placed in a sheltered workshop. But I knew I
wanted something different…" More about employment initiatives [3].

The National Federation of the Blind knows that blindness is not the
characteristic that defines blind people or their future. Every day we
raise the expectations of and for blind people, because low expectations
create obstacles between blind people and our dreams. We can live the lives
we want; blindness is not what holds us back. Please join us in our work by
becoming a member, attending an event, sharing this newsletter, or
supporting our programs.
