<div dir="LTR"><span lang="en-us"><font face="Calibri">Greetings Cincinnati Federationist</font></span><span lang="en-us"><font face="Calibri">s, </font></span></div>
<div dir="LTR"><span lang="en-us"><font face="Calibri">First, I thank all of you who responded to me publicly and privately with your thoughts on changing the date. </font></span></div>
<div dir="LTR"><span lang="en-us"><font face="Calibri">I also consulted with Eric Duffy, our Ohio president, and he, along with me and most chapter members, feels that it is best to have the event on a date when</font></span><span lang="en-us"> <font face="Calibri">as many stakeholders as possible can participate. </font></span></div>
<div dir="LTR"><span lang="en-us"><font face="Calibri">At our last</font></span><span lang="en-us"> <font face="Calibri">chapter</font></span><span lang="en-us"> <font face="Calibri">meeting, we discussed the value of building relationships with local agencies, and the consensus was that those relationships are extremely valuable. </font></span></div>
<div dir="LTR"><span lang="en-us"><font face="Calibri">Thus, to have this colla</font></span><span lang="en-us"><font face="Calibri">borative event when the CEO’s of both agencies and their key staff would be elsewhere would be unwise. </font></span></div>
<div dir="LTR"><span lang="en-us"><font face="Calibri">The committee has met this afternoon an</font></span><span lang="en-us"><font face="Calibri">d</font></span><span lang="en-us"> <font face="Calibri">ha</font></span><span lang="en-us"><font face="Calibri">s</font></span><span lang="en-us"><font face="Calibri"> selected October 22 as the date for the walk, and I hope every one of you will be with us.</font></span></div>
<div dir="LTR"><span lang="en-us"><font face="Calibri">John Mitchell and</font></span><span lang="en-us"> <font face="Calibri">Chris Faust have both agreed to give participating employees time off with pay and to provide transportation to and from the event. </font></span></div>
<div dir="LTR"><span lang="en-us"><font face="Calibri">Sheri, Kathy Gottsleich indicated that you were securing the space on Fountain Square, so I am double checking with you here for confirmation</font></span><span lang="en-us"><font face="Calibri">.</font></span></div>
<div dir="LTR"><span lang="en-us"><font face="Calibri">In addition, since you withdrew from the planning committee, please let me know if you are still planning a follow-up event for Meet the Blind Month. </font></span><span lang="en-us"> </span></div>
<div dir="LTR"><span lang="en-us"><font face="Calibri">I want to publicly commend Marianne Denning for making this event a priority for her visiting exchange student. She is a teacher w</font></span><span lang="en-us"><font face="Calibri">ho truly recognizes the value of a teaching moment!</font></span></div>
<div dir="LTR"><span lang="en-us"><font face="Calibri">More details will be forthcoming in the next few weeks, but for now, make your plans to be at City Hall by 11:00 a.m. on October 22.</font></span></div>
<div dir="LTR"><span lang="en-us"><font face="Calibri">Let’s make this the most successful White Cane Walk we have held to</font></span><span lang="en-us"> <font face="Calibri">date!</font></span></div>
<div dir="LTR"><span lang="en-us"><font face="Calibri">Warmly,</font></span></div>
