[Greater-baltimore] Important instructions for those helping with the Guinness World Record run-through tomorrow

[Danielsen, Chris]

Dear fellow Federationists:

As I mentioned in a previous email, prior to the chapter meeting tomorrow we are going to rehearse the logistics of our Guinness World Record attempt. If you plan to help with this, please be seated in the auditorium at the NFB Jernigan Institute no later than 9 a.m. tomorrow morning. You will be escorted in small groups from there to the Members Hall. When you arrive in the Members Hall you will be directed to stand on a rubber disk, known as a polydot. These flat rubber disks are not easily tactually distinguishable on the carpet in Members Hall so you'll need to follow instructions and feel for them carefully. There will either be an umbrella on the polydot or you will be handed one. You should keep the umbrella closed until instructed to open it. When so instructed, make sure the umbrella opens fully. Once the umbrella is open, you should hold it up in front of you and  maintain its position for five minutes, at which time you will be instructed to close it. Hopefully this gives you a rough idea of what to expect. Please follow the directions given to you by my colleagues tomorrow morning for further specifics. Thanks in advance for your participation.

Warmly,

Chris Danielsen

The National Federation of the Blind knows that blindness is not the characteristic that defines you or your future. Every day we raise the expectations of blind people, because low expectations create obstacles between blind people and our dreams. You can live the life you want; blindness is not what holds you back.

Make a gift<https://nfb.org/make-gift> to the National Federation of the Blind and help ensure all blind Americans live the lives they want.
