[Central-md-chapter] NFB chapter meeting reminder on Tuesday, April 2nd

[blind at trailstone.com]

Hi All, 

Our next NFB chapter meeting on Tuesday, April 2nd at 6:30 p.m. is fast
approaching. The Other Barn is located at 5851 Robert Oliver Pl, Columbia,
MD.

 

During the February meeting we had a guest speaker.

Peggy Chong has been in many places and many states. She talked about her
work and passions. Peggy is known as, "The Blind history Lady," as her work
over the years has brought about her books and articles about people in
history who were blind and nearly lost until Peggy dug up the articles and
stories from relatives and schools to breathe some life into the lives they
lived.

 

The Blind history lady Presents

A look back at the blind men and women of the United States in the 1800s
through the early 1900s who worked hard to lead a normal life. What they
did, the resources they had or did not have and the techniques they used to
become teachers, plumbers, politicians, newspaper editors, boat builders,
barbers, piano tuners, chemists and so much more.

During the March meeting we conducted normal NFB business and had some new
people join our chapter.

 

The tentative agenda for the meeting is as follows

1.	Chapter business
2.	Plan for NFB membership award ceremony in May
3.	Practice NFB pledge
4.	Determine location and date for chapter meeting, since we are
hosting the quarterly Maryland affiliate board of directors meeting
5.	What type of topics does the membership want during chapter meetings

1.	Presidential release time permitting
