A MESSAGE FROM OUR PRESIDENT

value...

RESULTS FROM OUR WORK ON THE HILL The goal of the 
Washington Seminar is to brief members of the 
House and Senate on issues affecting the blind. 
It is an important learning experience about what 
it truly means to be a 
Federationist...<https://nfb.org/sites/all/modules/civicrm/extern/url.php?u=10362&qid=2139136>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.
