I need to know who from each district would be interested in presenting so that I know how many people we need to do local training for. Even if you’ve contacted me, please confirm your willingness to participate in this effort so that I can plan and distribute resources as needed and get everyone up to speed with at least one and possibly more meetings as needed. Please confirm your participation no later than Friday, January 22 if possible. I need people from all four congressional districts if possible, and anyone can come in on the Senate meetings as well. Please feel free to reach out if there are any questions! Right now, Washington Seminar is moving forward, so let’s go build the National Federation of the Blind of Iowa and get these priorities passed!<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal style='margin-left:.5in'><span style='font-family:"Arial",sans-serif'>Scott Van Gorp, President<br>National Federation of the Blind of Iowa<br>Phone: 515-720-5282<br></span><a href="mailto:svangorp@nfbi.org">Email</a><o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><a href="http://www.nfbi.org/"><i><span style='font-family:"Arial",sans-serif'>Website</span></i></a><i><span style='font-family:"Arial",sans-serif'> <br></span></i><a href="https://www.facebook.com/National-Federation-Of-the-Blind-Of-Iowa-372681823082570/posts"><i><span style='font-family:"Arial",sans-serif'>Facebook</span></i></a><i><span style='font-family:"Arial",sans-serif'> <br></span></i><a href="https://twitter.com/nfb_iowa"><i><span style='font-family:"Arial",sans-serif'>Twitter</span></i></a><i><span style='font-family:"Arial",sans-serif'> <br>Live the life you want.<br></span></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.
