[cdanielsen14 at comcast.net]

Hello all:

 

This is your monthly reminder that the meeting of the Greater Baltimore
Chapter will take place this Saturday, April 20. You will want to come early
and enjoy breakfast, provided by the Maryland Parents of Blind Children,
which will be served at 9 a.m. Afterwards, and throughout the chapter
meeting, the parents will be conducting their annual bake auction and fire
sale, so bring your appetite and your wallet. More information about the
breakfast and bake auction is below.

Important note: Our Zoom information has changed. We are now using the NFB
of Maryland affiliate Zoom account, so please note the new login
information, which should hopefully be familiar to many of you.

 

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.

Here is more information about the breakfast and bake sale:

The members of the Greater Baltimore Chapter, and any other NFBMD members
who would like to visit the chapter on this day, will be able to enjoy the
breakfast the parents and children prepare. No cost to attend breakfast;
donations to the Maryland Parents of Blind Children are welcome. At 10 a.m.,
the monthly meeting of the NFBMD Greater Baltimore Chapter will begin. Not
only will meeting attendees be able to take part in all of the usual meeting
events (hearing what the Greater Baltimore Chapter is doing in the
community, discussing national, state, and local happenings, listening to
the Presidential Release, etc.) but you will be able to bid on delicious
baked goods that are auctioned off to the highest bidder throughout the
meeting or buy some treats between 1 and 5 dollars at the bake sale table.

In the past bake sale items have included cupcakes, muffins, bags of
cookies, etc. Items auctioned off have included a Jewish Apple Cake,
brownies, entire batches of cookies, various loaves of bread, cheesecakes,
and more! 

 

See you Saturday!

 

Warmly,
