Lunch will be provided. If you are not sure what BELL is, see the information below from our state president, Marci Carpenter:<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>The NFB of Washington is co-hosting our BELL program with the NFB of Oregon at WSSB the weeks of August 6 and August 13. The program is for young children from 6-12 years old. We will need volunteers from the chapter to assist with the program. Volunteers will sign up with Corey to fill morning and afternoon shifts (8 am-noon and noon-3 pm). Our teacher for the program will be Sarah Zachariah, a teacher of blind children from the Samamish school district. Sarah has a great attitude and good energy for our program. Carla McQuillan, NFB of Oregon President, will be leading the training, which will also cover things that the chapter can do to help prepare for the program. Carla has several years experience running BELL programs in Oregon. <o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>Hope to see everyone there.<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal> Corey Grandstaff, Chapter President<o:p></o:p></p></div></body></html>
