[Nfbc-info] The excitement continues this weekend

[Kevan Worley via Nfbc-info]

Hello,

Whether you are North or South, East or West, the Federation is the best! I'll bet many of us have blind friends, associates, or acquaintances in the Bay area. Jessica and I are so excited to be a part of the Bay to Breakers,  Sunday afternoon Fun in the Sun, Saturday afternoon chapter meeting and forum this weekend in San Francisco. Why not forward the message below and the flier attached to everyone we know. Who knows who will join us if we invited them to live the life they want.

Meet NFBC
The National Federation of the Blind of California wants to meet YOU!
May 17 and 18

The National Federation of the Blind of California is on the move in the Bay Area!  We are working hard every day to spread the word that blindness is not the characteristic that defines us.  We strive to raise expectations of blind people because we know that low expectations create barriers between blind people and our dreams.  YOU CAN LIVE THE LIFE YOU WANT!

If you are blind, low vision, losing vision, a senior having trouble seeing, a friend or family member of a blind person, a professional in the blindness field, or just someone who wants a better understanding of blindness come meet NFBC.  There are two exciting events coming up!
