The award will be the Packard and Thomas Personal Empowerment Award. It will be awarded at our Christmas party this December The award was created to honor someone who has overcome the trauma of losing their sight, taken dramatic steps to adjust and build a new life. Achieving the goals that you set for yourself is personal empowerment and allows that person to move on to help others by showing newly visually impaired persons that there is life after blindness. The award could also go to a person who has empowered themselves to make a significant contribution to the blind community in general. Please forward this letter on to every blind person or blind group that you know of so that all may have a chance. Please submit your entries by E-mail to save time as we only have until the end of the month. It doesn't have to be a long letter. You just need to tell me why the person whose name you are submitting is the one who should receive the award. We hope to have press coverage for this honoree.
