inspiration in 2018? You can help us answer this question by 
nominating award

THE JACOB BOLOTIN AWARD
It is always tempting to take the well-traveled road, and this is

the number of paths you can take is limited and any of them you 
choose will be 
difficult...<https://nfb.org/sites/all/modules/civicrm/extern/url.php?u=9934&qid=2102784>Read

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.
