Hi all,

I hope you are well and remaining healthy.  
We had an great January chapter meeting. We covered the Annapolis week
issues, held chapter elections, and found out what everyone's favorite cake
was in honor of Louie Braille's birthday.
There was a lot of great stuff in the January Presidential Release, please
make sure you listen to the replay.

At our chapter meetings we do our best to listen to the latest NFB
presidential Release. Due to the timing of our meetings and when the
presidential release is made available, we do not get to listen to the
latest release. Always. Please make time to listen to the Presidential
release to hear what is happening within the NFB movement.
