[Greater-Baltimore] Meeting reminder

[cdanielsen14 at comcast.net]

Hello all:

 

The meeting of the Greater Baltimore Chapter of the National Federation of
the Blind of Maryland will take place this Saturday, September 16. Some of
us might be a little tired from all the eating and dancing we did at the
crab feast, but we'll rally to continue preparing for Blind Equality
Achievement Month and to conduct other chapter business.

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. Remember please that
such fragrance allergies or sensitivities can result in anything from minor
annoyance to a trip to the hospital, so please do not splash on any smelly
stuff. 

 

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 Saturday!

 

Warmly,

 

Chris Danielsen, Chapter Presiden
