I want to welcome the newest chapter of the Tennessee Council of the Blind. It is the Vision Impaired Support Group of Cumberland County, located in Crossville, Tennessee.

This chapter keeps growing and growing because they are so active, and have accomplished so much during the short time they have been in existence. This chapter is a welcome addition to TCB, and I'm looking forward to working with Jerry Hearndon, Kenneth Steadman, and others from this very active group of visually impaired people.

It is my hope that this will develop into a very long-lasting and productive partnership for many years to come.

Sincerely,
Dan Dillon, President Tennessee Council of the Blind
