Hi All,

fast approaching. Due to the corona virus pandemic, this meeting will be
conducted virtually by PHONE instead of in person. 
To connect to the meeting dial (339)209-4083 on your phone.

Can you believe summer is almost over?  It is time to reflect on what we
were able to accomplish this summer, and start planning for the fall. I
personally cannot wait for the various fall and winter food dishes, the
vibrant colors in autumn leaves, cool crisp breezes, and hot cider in  my
mug. Who is with me?

The fall is also exciting because it is time for the annual chapter picnic,
NFB fundraisers,  Meet the blind  month activities, LBDP technology
discussions, the annual NFB state convention, and so much more!

The tentative agenda for the chapter meeting is as follows
