[Colorado-talk] Boulder Valley Chapter meeting

[maryannmigs at gmail.com]

Dear members and friends of the Boulder Valley Chapter of the National
Federation of the Blind of Colorado: 

You are cordially invited to our June meeting. It will be held in our new
meeting place. We will meet from 10:00 a.m. to 12 noon on Saturday, June
28th. We will actually get started about 10:15 to allow for those coming on
the bus. 

Our new meeting place is in a prime location. It is in the education wing
(Geneva Wing) of the First Presbyterian Church of Boulder, at 1820 15th
Street. This is just a block from the RTD's Boulder Transit Center, which is
at 14th and Walnut in downtown Boulder. 

This month we will meet in Room 250 in the education wing (Geneva Wing)
(Please see below for detailed directions.) This is a large church which
participates actively in the community, and which has many outside groups
meeting there. Please come directly to our meeting, and do not become
distracted by other activities such as those offering a meal. 

Afterward, there will be the opportunity to enjoy any of the many
restaurants which are very close. 

Agenda items include: 

*	Plans for our picnic to be held in August. 
*	Reports on the opening of the Denver Union Station (DUS), RTD
automatic stop announcements and Smart Cards, as well as Boulder County's
proposed funding of RTD's routes in Longmont. 
*	Our upcoming National Convention. 
*	NFB philosophy, including our brand new 2014 NFB Library Cards. 
*	Our plans for summer activities, how we will recruit new members,
and the best timing for these announcements. 
*	Fund raising 

Following are detailed directions from the Boulder Transit Center: 

The Transit Center is at the corner of 14th Street and Walnut Street. Go out
the west exit from the waiting room and north to the corner. Walk east along
the south side of Walnut to 15th Street, and cross 15th Street. On the far
side of 15th Street, turn south. There will be a grassy strip between the
sidewalk and the street. (You will cross some driveways.) 

On your left is a small parking lot. Then, after at least one driveway and
after some grass on your left, you will find a wide sidewalk going to your
left (east). Walk east about ten feet, then go down three steps, and proceed
straight ahead across the drive to the building entrance. There are other
entrances, but this is the entrance we are to use. 

Inside the building, walk straight ahead, then turn left into the hallway.
Soon on your right you will find stairs and then the elevator. Go up to
second floor. Room 250 is located between the stairs and the elevator. 

Following are alternate directions via Canyon Boulevard: 

Canyon runs along the south side of the Transit Center and another building.
Walk east on Canyon to 15th Street. Cross 15th and turn north. You will walk
beside the edge of a small fenced playground. Then you will walk along
beside a solid wall which has no entrances (but does have some large
indentations for windows). Cross a driveway and soon you will find the
sidewalk going east, with the steps, as described above. 

If you have questions or need further directions to this meeting location,

We look forward to seeing you at a meeting full of valuable information and
planning for the coming year. 

Sincerely,
