Hello Fellow Federationists,
Please see a message below from National Federation of the Blind
Community Service Division President Darian Smith about a great
opportunity to do community service at our National Convention. Our
Division is very excited for this project and I hope that many Texans
who are attending convention are able to participate and help out.

Warm regards,

 Federation family,
  The National Federation of the Blind Community Service Division is
excited to tell you that we, along with Habitat for Humanity of
greater Orlando will be offering  the opportunity to participate in a
habitat build community service project.
  This Service Project will be a part of the various activities and
events  set to take place during our 76th convention of the National
Federation of the  Blind, and will be unique in that we as blind
people from across the nation will be taking an active role in
building a home while building up positive attitudes about blindness..
.

 this off-site project is scheduled to take place on June 30 and is
tentatively scheduled to run from approximately 7 am to 2:30 pm
(including travel time), with transportation to and from the project
site to be provided  by the Community Service Division.

This project has a limited capacity of twenty participants.
Interested persons should contact Darian Smith at
president at nfbcommunityservice.org should they have any questions or
should they wish to reserve  a spot for themselves.

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.
 “We need your service, right now, at this moment - our moment - in
history. I'm not going to tell you what your role should be; that's
for you to discover. But I am going to ask you to play your part; ask
you to stand up; ask you to put your foot firmly into the current of
history” — Barack Obama
