[blindlaw] FW: [Nfbnet-members-list] National Parks Fundraiser Trip October 9-13 For NFB Travel & Tourism Division

Thanks, an evening out sound great.   We are pretty much open schedule wise for the next few weeks.  I would suggest that you and Beth figure a date and time that works best for you two working people and let us know.  A trip to San Francisco would be great particularly with the weather now being so nice.  A place on the waterfront or up to Columbus Circle.    Since Beth is in the City, perhaps she has a recommendation or two.  I'll also check around and see what I come up.

Take Care

Fred
