[Nfbnet-members-list] 75th Anniversary commemorative items

Thu Jul 16 22:45:39 UTC 2015

Good evening Federation family, 

Our 75th Anniversary convention was a huge success.  Not only due to those
in attendance but to the entire Federation family.  The time flew by so
quickly!  If you are like me, you made it home without having experienced or
had the opportunity to purchase some of the unique commemorative items,
which mark this milestone event for the National Federation of the Blind.  I
would like to introduce you to a few of the items that you can order online
or by phone. 

The first group of items comes from Sorella Jewelry located in Michigan.
Here is their story: 

Sorella Jewelry Studio is a company founded by two sisters, Beth and Lynn
Stefani, with a true appreciation of design and a passion for quality.  We
took our name from the Italian word for “sister,” reflecting both our Tuscan
heritage and our love of family.  Sorella devotes itself exclusively to
personalized jewelry that is artfully made by a small team of skilled
craftsmen.  We are fine jewelers creating fine jewelry.  Each Sorella ring,
pendant, charm, bracelet, and set of cuff links is custom made in America at
our Michigan studio to your exact order specifications 

Not only do the Stefani sisters make beautiful jewelry, they are pledging a
percentage of sales of the below items to the National Federation of the
Blind. President Riccobono was sporting the cuff links at the 75th
anniversary convention. Federation First lady, Melissa Riccobono was wearing
one of the pendants. What a great way to commemorate such a historic moment
in time for our family!

tenbroek, Dr. Jernigan, Dr. Maurer and President Riccobono.  The photos are
arranged in the four corners starting top left with Dr. tenbroek and ending
with President Riccobono in the lower right corner.  A full color 75th
anniversary logo is located in the middle with “Live the Life you want” in
Braille.  Each piece is customized with the members name and Member since
the year you joined the Federation in Braille. 

Cost for this really cool piece of art is $49.99plus $20 for shipping. 

Please e-mail John at 3d Photoworks with your contact information and NFB
Plaque in the subject line.  He will get in touch with you and make the
payment arrangements. His e-mail is john at 3dphotoworks.com. 

I hope that you find these offerings as interesting as I do.  They are
beautiful and both are fantastic keepsakes commemorating our 75th
anniversary.

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.
