<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt">Just wanted to report on another successful Downtown COS Chapter meeting last night. Great discussion. New people. Great pizza and cupcakes from Abe and Shannon. Great energy. Thank you. If you are ever in
or around Colorado Springs on the 3<sup>rd</sup> Tuesday evening of the month, visit us at the Downtown COS Chapter.

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt">And you are all cordially invited to our annual summer picnic. September 6 from 11 until 3ish. AT Thorndale Park, 2310 W Uintah St., We would love to have some of our Pueblo friends come up. Perhaps a few
of our Northern Front Range friends could come down. We are planning for brisket, mac and cheese, beans, potato salad, desserts, and more. You must please RSVP by September 1. And if you are interested and willing to bring a dish, please include what you are
bringing in your RSVP to me, <a href="mailto:kevan@nfbco.org">kevan@nfbco.org</a> 303-929-2369. The event is cohosted by our friends at the Olympic City chapter. There will be fun and games, and special guests. And there will certainly be the traditional tug-of-war.
Julie and Claton will be bringing the rope. Sounds like we need people from Wild West.

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt">If you have questions, please ask. Remember, this is not only a tradition for all of us to get together, break bread, and toss a ball around. It is also for building our chapters in southern Colorado. “If
you feed them, they will come.” And they will learn more about who we are, our philosophy, and the great work we do. When they get to know us, blind, low vision, and their families will come to join this wonderful family of ours.
