The National Federation of the Blind of Cleveland is extending a 
cordial invitation to all Federationists to participate in a New 
Member Orientation Teleconference Call that will take place on May 
14, 2018 at 5:00 to 6:30 PM eastern daylight time.

This exciting and educational event is to highlight and promote the 
mission of the National Federation of the Blind. "Thus, to achieve 
widespread emotional acceptance and intellectual understanding that 
the real problem of blindness is not the loss of eyesight but the 
misconceptions and lack of information which exist. Moreover, The NFB 
brings blind people together to share successes, to support each 
other in times of failure, and to create imaginative solutions. 
Becoming a member of the National Federation of the Blind is easy to 
do! Membership in the NFB is rewarding because it opens up a network 
of unparalleled support, friendship, and resources. Together with 
love, hope, and determination, we help you transform your dreams into reality".

With all that said, if you are a new member or maybe seasoned and 
would like to tap into the experiences, expertise and knowledge from 
a distinguish panel of NFB leaders, then attend this teleconference. 
We will hear from John Pare, Executive director for Advocacy and 
Policy, Lou Ann Blake, Deputy Director of The Jernigan Institute, Ron 
Brown, Second Vice President of The National Board of Directors, 
Richard Payne, President of the Ohio Affiliate, Barbara Pierce, 
President Emerita of Ohio and Dr. carolyn Peters, Ohio Membership 
Chairperson.

Although, this Teleconference is targeted for Ohio. We encourage 
anyone who would like to attend to do so. There will be much to learn 
from the National and State governments. The information is universal 
and can be poured into the overall membership.  If you have new 
members in your Affiliate, please encourage them to participate.

The conference number is:
