<html><head><meta http-equiv="content-type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8"></head><body dir="auto">Dear Federation Family, <div>For those at the meeting on Saturday, we were told that Michael Barber is in the hospital. I'm writing this to update you all and make others aware of the situation. Mr. Barber is still in the hospital. Kim is with him. The last post I saw from her on Saturday is that they are still running a variety of tests to figure out what's wrong. A subsequent conversation today from a chapter member who spoke to Kim revealed that Mr. Barber is still there, concern levels are high, and he can definitely use our thoughts and prayers. Mr. Barber I'm sure would appreciate prayers and well wishes from everyone, so please keep him and Kim in those thoughts and prayers. Hopefully when there is more news to share, Kim will let us know, but in the mean time, get better Michael! Talk to you soon! </div><div>Warmest Regards <br><br><div dir="ltr"><br><div><span style="background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);">Mike Harvey, President<br>National Federation of the Blind of Iowa<br>Des Moines Chapter<br><a href="tel:615-554-0695" dir="ltr" x-apple-data-detectors="true" x-apple-data-detectors-type="telephone" x-apple-data-detectors-result="4/0" style="-webkit-text-decoration-color: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.258824);">615-554-0695</a><br>Email: <a href="mailto:mharvey@nfbi.org">mharvey@nfbi.org</a> <br><i>Website: <a href="http://www.nfbi.org/">www.nfbi.org</a> <br>Facebook: </i><a href="https://www.facebook.com/National-Federation-Of-the-Blind-Of-Iowa-372681823082570/posts">https://www.facebook.com/National-Federation-Of-the-Blind-Of-Iowa-372681823082570/posts</a> <i><br>Twitter: </i><a href="https://twitter.com/nfb_iowa">https://twitter.com/nfb_iowa</a> <i><br>Des Moines Chapter </i><span lang="EN">Facebook: <a href="https://www.facebook.com/nationalfederationoftheblindofiowadsm" target="_blank"><span style="text-decoration: none;">https://www.facebook.com/nationalfederationoftheblindofiowadsm</span></a></span><i><br>Live the life you want.<br></i><br>The National Federation of the Blind of Iowa is a community of members and friends who believe in the hopes and dreams of the nation’s blind.
