NFB of Oregon | National Federation of the Blind in Oregon

Beautiful Crater Lake in south central Oregon

NFB of Oregon is planning a series of membership and informational sessions throughout Oregon in the next several months. Locations, dates and times will be announced. Each session is planned for two hours. Topics will include our national and state organizations, chapters and divisions, NFB-NEWSLINE® demonstration and legislative matters. Refreshments are planned. There will be no charge but registration will be required. Planning is still underway, more information to come.

NFB of Oregon is assisting its chapters and divisions with the collection of membership dues for 2022. Those wishing to pay membership dues and/or donate to a local chapter or division can do so here by credit or debit card. We will also gladly accept dues for membership at large and donations to NFB of Oregon.

The National Federation of the Blind knows that blindness is not the characteristic that defines you or your future. Every day we raise the expectations of blind people, because low expectations create obstacles between blind people and our dreams. You can live the life you want; blindness is not what holds you back.
