July Minute Message from the Movement

Fellow Federationist: The 75th Anniversary Convention of the National Federation of the Blind was outstanding. Breaking the World Guinness Book of Records for the largest umbrella mosaic will be something that we can all talk about for years. It was a great symbol of how we raise expectations for blind people every day.

April Message from the Movement

Fellow Federationists:

Many thanks to all who helped make the 2015 session of the Maryland General Assembly a very productive one for the blind of Maryland.  Gov. Hogan appropriated $250,000 to continue the work of the CENA, the Center of Excellence in Nonvisual Access to Education, Public Information, and Commerce.  The Maryland General Assembly kept that money in the budget.  We look forward to the great things that CENA will accomplish, especially its plan to provide access to the over 10 million books in the HathiTrust.

Happy Valentine’s Day to all.  Amazon is a great source for everything including valentine treats.  Be sure to use Amazon Smile and help NFBMD put a smile on a blind child’s face.  We will use funds from this project to support our three NFB BELL programs in Maryland.  Please send this link to all of your relatives, friends and neighbors.  http://smile.amazon.com/ch/52-1301033.
