A MESSAGE FROM OUR PRESIDENT
The long white cane has become more than simply an elegant tool for 
independence. It has come to represent the can-do, 
adventurous  spirit of members of the National Federation of the 
Blind.

WHITE CANES MAKE A DIFFERENCE

It is great to know there are still people in this world that care 
about other people besides themselves. Your gift of a white cane 
could not have come at a better time for me!

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 thisnewsletter or supporting our programs.
