I'm excited to tell all of you that you can listen to all the Washington 
Seminar information, agenda and facts sheets by listening to Newsline.  If 
there is someone who needs to join Newsline or wants to know more, please 
contact me.  My contact info is below and then below that, the message on 
how to listen.

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.

It's that time of year again! Washington Seminar is next week in DC and the 
nation's blind will be visiting the capitol. The Washington Seminar is an 
annual event of the National Federation of the Blind to introduce the agenda 
of blind Americans--the priority issues requiring congressional attention 
over the coming year. The issues are selected from official positions of the 
Federation and may address concerns in the following areas: relevant civil 
rights issues; educational programs and services; rehabilitation of the 
blind for competitive employment; the operation of vending facilities by 
blind persons on public property; specialized library services for the 
blind; the organization and funding of federal programs; Social Security and 
Supplemental Income programs; and other timely topics. Approximately three 
legislative initiatives are chosen for priority attention during the 
Washington Seminar.

We have posted the NFB 2017 Washington Seminar Agenda and Fact Sheets on
