AGENDA

National Federation of the Blind of Colorado

66th Annual State Convention

October 29 – October 31, 2020

Anywhere & Everywhere!

LIVING THE LIFE WE WANT! 

Scott C. LaBarre, President

2233 W. Shepperd Avenue

Littleton, CO 80120

303-778-1130

NFB PLEDGE

  I pledge to participate actively in the effort of the

  National Federation of the Blind to achieve equality,    

  opportunity, and security for the blind; to support the  

  policies and programs of the Federation and to abide  

  by its constitution.

NFB ONE MINUTE MESSAGE

  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 their dreams. 

  You can live the life you want; blindness is not what  

  holds you back.

TRIBUTE TO OUR SPONSORS

We extend our sincerest gratitude to our Live the Life You Want Sponsor,
Colorado Center for the Blind.

Since 1988, the CCB has been changing what it means to be blind one life at
a time.  The Center has provided world class blindness training to students
from all over the world.  Contact Julie Deden, Executive Director,
<mailto:jdeden at cocenter.org> jdeden at cocenter.org, 303-778-1130.  Also visit

National Representative.  Here is his story:

Committee on Appropriations Legislative Branch Subcommittee regarding

THE BLIND HISTORY LADY

Workers for the Blind of Colorado.  Having tracked down a few of them, we’ll
find out a bit of their history.  We know of one UWB board member who had
very poor vision; today we may say he was legally blind.  One of his former
positions was Governor.  Can you guess who he was?  Our blind children, as
well as all of our members and guests, should know our blind Colorado
ancestors. We will share other finds in the old files and discuss the
purpose of preserving them and the methods we have selected.  

THURSDAY AFTERNOON OCTOBER 29, 2020

fight for everyone.
