PANCAKE BREAKFAST BENEFITS THE BLIND
	On Saturday, July 26 - the 24th anniversary of the Americans with
Disabilities Act (ADA),, Beef O'Brady's will host a pancake breakfast
to benefit the Tampa Bay Chapter of the National Federation of the
Blind of Florida (NFBF). The breakfast will be held from 8:00 - 10:00
a.m. at the Beef OBrady's located at 8810 N. Himes Ave. and will
include two eggs, pancakes, bacon, and coffee, tea, or orange juice
for only $7.00 per plate. In addition to breakfast, guests will also
have the chance to win door prizes and participate in a 50/50 drawing.
Blind chapter members will be on hand to demonstrate reading & writing
Braille, including having their names written in the tactile code,
share how blind people use the long white cane, and how a blind person
uses a guide dog. Advance reservations are required and can be made by
sending an email with the number in your party to

"Every day we raise the expectations of blind people," says Miranda
Kilby, who serves as the Tampa Bay chapter president, "because low
expectations create obstacles between blind people and our dreams."

	The National Federation of the Blind is the oldest and largest
organization of the blind in the United States. The NFB believes that
the real problem of blindness is not the loss of eyesight, but low
expectations of the blind that create obstacles to achieving their
highest potential. The Federation provides scholarships to blind
students; support for those who are blind or losing their eyesight;
advocacy for the blind facing discrimination; and informational
programs for the general public on topics of blindness. The NFB is not
an organization that speaks on behalf of the blind; they are the blind
speaking for themselves.
