Deborah expressed that she had a meeting earlier today, and it was agreed that we will be holding a combined White Cane Safety Day / Meet the blind event on either October 20 or October 22. As in the past, this event will consist of a march from Cincinnati City Hall to Fountain Square, where literature will be available and people can ask questions about the NFB and Blindness related topics. Christopher has agreed to staff a table at the event on Fountain Square.”<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='color:#1F497D'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='color:#1F497D'>The Meet the Blind Month Committee agreed that no further action needed to be taken for this event, meaning you seem to have got it covered.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='color:#1F497D'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='color:#1F497D'>Item two, these were the minutes of the meeting as they were spoken in the meeting.
