I would like to introduce you all to a colleague of mine who I hope to get
to be a lioness out here on long island. Her name is cheryl and she is
looking to join our list serve and hopefully become a lion as well. Happy
new year to all.

Yours in Lionism,

We are glad to have you on the list.  Let us know about some of the Lions 
activities you are participating inl.  Lion Milton has given you the basic 
information about the list.  Some of us don't use it enough to share what 
Lions are doing in our various clubs.  But don't hesitate to do so.
I repeat we are glad to have you.

Here it is again, so sorry it didn't come through.


Good morning all:

I was very happy to hear that the NFB has a Lions Division and talk list on 
the NFBnet.org

My name is Cheryl Echevarria, I also live in NY near Albert J. Rizzi, in 
fact, we will be working together in the future.

Currently, I hold the office of Treasurer, Greater Long Island Chapter of 
the National Federation of the Blind.

I had lost my vision in 2001 from diabetes and Kidney Failure, but I have 
since become very independent again, from the help of my mentors with the 
National Federation of the Blind, and the help of my very good friend who 
have me one of his kidney's in 2005, so I can get my life back.

In 2007, I received my first Guide Dog from the Guide Dog Foundation of 
Smithtown, here in NY.   That is why I want to help with fundraising for the 
wonderful organization to help more people like myself get dogs and 
assistance.

I am also a member of NAGDU, DAN, and I also am the Moderator of the Blind 
Cooks List.  Yes, I wear many hats but at the same time am not as active in 
some divisions that I have in the past.

I have also become an entrepreneur, by running my own travel agency 
www.Echevarriatravel.com, and one of the things I can do with this is to 
educate the blind on how to enjoy a vacation and to travel, as well as 
educating the sighted, especially in the travel industry, which seems no one 
wants to touch, to help the blind enjoy there lives and go on vacations and 
to travel independently

So I hope that you take me up on my offer. I am trying to make plans to come 
to the Convention in Dallas, but unfortunately the funds are not there at 
this time to do this.

I will be listening in the wings here and comment from time to time, but let 
me know how I can help.

Thank you.

I am hoping to be able to introduce her to my club here on long island and
maybe get her to be a lioness as well. My Blind Spot and I have partnered
with Cheryl as the anchor of our Marco Polo travel link which we are
creating as we speak.  Look for our partnership to be posted on
myblindspot.org by the end of the month.  I know cheryl will be a great
compliment to the lions.  I just saw her on local TV fighting for our access
to news papers through a program which is in danger of being cancelled here
in New York.

For those that use it, It is NFB Newline, and the Commission for the Blind 
and Visually Handicapped is 15 months behind in paying the New York State 
Affiliate, and it will be shut off here in NY as of February 1, 2010.  So if 
any of you use Newsline you know this is going to be devasting, over 3,000 
blind and print disabled people will use this service, as well as the 
elderly that don't use the computer and uses newsline.

Greetings Fellow Lionws!

After Chris Danielsen, Steve Booth, Susan Day, Fred Schroeder, and I 
attended the Memphis USA/Canada Lions Forum last year, we submitted a 
proposal that Chris and I should make a presentation at the next one in 
Milwaukee next September.  We called it Lions Partnering with the Blind in 
the 21st Century.  We got the official invitation to do it this week.  I am 
very pleased to report this to you.

I will try to remember to remind you closer to time, so that you  can 
encourage members of your clubs to attend.  It should give us a good 
opportunity to do some good public education.  If any of you are going to be 
there, please let us know.

Great news. I am interested in learning more about how my membership as a
lion and from the supports here, might help me in promoting public education
as well. I just today met with an early childhood center and will be trying
to find funding for a 15 week program aimed at character building and
diversity appreciation coupled with a blind awareness component. Any advice
or ideas would be greatly appreciated. Yours in lionism,
