>Fellow Federationests,
>
>  The Community Service Division is a new and 
> proud division of the National Federation of the Blind.
>  As you know, the mission of the Community 
> Service Division is to secure   equality of 
> opportunity for the blind  through community service and advocacy.
>  We believe that by serving amongst and along 
> side our sighted peers we can model positive 
> blindness philosophy  and shatter misconceptions.
>  we believe that by giving back and getting 
> involved, we can show how the blind  can liv 
> the life we want.  We can show what we’ve 
> always believed; that blindness is not, has not 
> and will not be 
> the   characteristic  that  defines us or our 
> future, that  through volunteering our  time 
> and serving in the communities  in which we 
> live, we slowly but  surely raise  expectations of blindness.
>
>  The Division has established four separate and 
> unique committees, filled by Passionate, 
> dedicated and driven leaders.  Each committee 
> has a few possible projects  an individual may 
> serve on.  We encourage you to take a look at

>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 have the life you want;
>blindness is not what holds you back.

>La National Federation of the Blind sabe que la ceguera no es la
>característica que define tu futuro o a ti.  Todos los días elevamos las
>expectativas de los ciegos, porque las bajas expectativas crean obstáculos
>entre los ciegos y su futuro.  Puedes vivir la vida que queres, la ceguera
>no te lo impide.
