went to my first NFB National Convention in 2016 and signed up to 
sing at the Talent 
Showcase...<https://nfb.org/sites/all/modules/civicrm/extern/url.php?u=10569&qid=2172371>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.
