<p class="MsoNormal">The Legislative Committee of the National Federation of the Blind of Connecticut is going to be hosting two calls to help prepare our affiliate for Washington Seminar. All are welcome, but I strongly encourage those attending Washington
Seminar to attend these calls.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Based on conversations I have had with affiliate members, we have set the two following dates and times for these calls. We are going to do the same thing on each one.<o:p></o:p></p>

<p class="MsoNormal">If you are interested in helping by presenting one of these legislative issues, please contact me privately at
<a href="mailto:president@alumni.ecu.edu">president@alumni.ecu.edu</a> to indicate your interest. I would love to give others opportunities to present these issues to the affiliate. It’s great practice for explaining them to the legislators and their staff.<o:p></o:p></p>
