Dear Federation Family:

The meeting of the Greater Baltimore Chapter of the National Federation of the Blind of Maryland will take place tomorrow, Saturday, August 19. As usual, we will share the latest national and affiliate information, as well as discussing our planned Blind Equality Achievement Month activities and other chapter business. After the meeting, we will enjoy food, fellowship and fun at our chapter picnic. A delicious menu including both fried and baked chicken, baked beans, potato salad, macaroni salad, vegan options for those who require them, and hopefully some member-prepared desserts is planned. There will also be trivia and some prizes. If you wish to donate a prize you are welcome to do so; please bring something of value that you would want to win yourself, not junk you seek to discard. Please take advantage of the vegan options only if it is a dietary requirement or commitment of conscience for you; we will not have enough of those items for all attendees. Thank you for your understanding. Beverages available will include lemonade, water, and unsweetened iced tea. You are welcome to bring your own beverages if those options will not suit your needs, and options are also available for purchase from soda machines at the NFB Jernigan Institute. 

As of this writing, there are approximately thirteen remaining tickets available in our group to see the Baltimore Orioles play the Colorado Rockies on August 26, 2023. Individual tickets cost a total of $27.50 including online charges. Five dollars from each ticket purchased go directly to the Greater Baltimore Chapter. The first twenty thousand fans to arrive at the stadium will receive a Felix "The Mountain" Baatista bobblehead, guaranteed to be the biggest Oriole bobblehead ever produced.
(Don't worry, though; it's not life-size, so you should be able to get it
home.) You can purchase your tickets at this link:

Our meeting will be held at the NFB Jernigan Institute, the headquarters of the National Federation of the Blind located at 200 East Wells Street, Baltimore MD 21230. The meeting will take place in the NFB of Utah Auditorium, just beyond the doors leading into the main building from the fourth-floor atrium, and will begin promptly at 10 a.m. The doors to the Jernigan Institute on Wells Street will open at 9 a.m. Please do not attend the meeting if you have a fever or are feeling ill. Also, please observe our no-fragrance policy so that our meeting will be welcoming to chapter members and guests who are sensitive or allergic to fragrances. The picnic should begin to wrap up around 2:30 or 3 p.m. for those needing ot plan transportation. 

We realize that not everyone will be able to attend the meeting or will feel comfortable doing so. For that reason, you can still participate in the meeting on Zoom barring technical difficulties, which we will do everything possible to avoid. The Zoom information is as follows:

During the meeting, you can use the following commands:

*	Pressing Alt plus A on your Windows computer, or star then 6 on your
touch-tone phone, will mute or unmute your audio. Please remain muted unless and until you are recognized to speak. When the host unmutes you because you have been recognized to speak, the Zoom app may ask you to confirm that you want to unmute, and you will need to click the button in the popup to complete unmuting.
*	Pressing alt+Y on your Windows computer or star and then 9 on your
touch-tone phone will raise your hand. This will let the meeting hosts know that you seek the floor or have a question.

I look forward to sharing lively discussion of our ongoing chapter activities with you, as well as news from our Federation family and more.
See you tomorrow!

Warmly,

Chris Danielsen, Chapter President
