A MESSAGE FROM OUR PRESIDENT
I know of nothing more powerful in life than when 
a group of people come together for a common 
purpose. We enhance that power when the 
individuals are volunteers­when they are driven 
by purpose and action rather than 
compensation...<https://nfb.org/sites/all/modules/civicrm/extern/url.php?u=9708&qid=1985066>more

The National Federation of the Blind knows that 
blindness is not the characteristic that defines 
blind people or their future. Every day we raise 
the expectations of and for blind people, because 
low expectations create obstacles between blind 
people and our dreams. We can live the lives we 
want; blindness is not what holds us back. Please 
join us in our work by becoming a member, 
attending an event, sharing this newsletter or supporting our programs.
