2008 started off with our chapter hosting the State Board Meeting of the NFB of CT. Our chapter meets the 3rd Saturday of the month.

We've had several guest speakers throughout the year. We had a gentleman from the CRIS radio station speak in February, and in March a wonderful speaker from the One Stop Career Center was kind enough to speak to us.

In May our chapter was invited to a bowling tournament against the Central Connecticut Chapter. During the spring we had a table at Stop & Shop, and on Flag Day we were at Wal-Mart handing out literature. In July our chapter picnic was held at Osborne Dale Park in Derby. We also attended an event in Bridgeport that was focused on Education and Children to hand out more information on the NFB, and of course we attended the Milford Oyster Festival in August.

Our chapter meetings began again in September after taking the summer off. We had another fund raising event in October to talk about White Cane Safety at Stop and Shop and Wal-Mart in Milford.

We went to a great Concert at Fairfield University where we listened and met Raul Midon, who is a blind singer and guitarist.

The Southern Connecticut Chapter wrapped up our year of events with our annual Christmas party at Lassie's located in Milford. Melissa entertained us with her singing and keyboard, and Gigi added her singing voice, too.
