[Greater-Baltimore] Meeting reminder, virtual only chapter meeting this Saturday

[cdanielsen14 at comcast.net]

Dear Federationists:

 

As you know, the last chapter meeting we held was virtual due to illnesses
among our members. It was our plan to hold an in-person meeting this
Saturday, August 17. However, because the air conditioning in the auditorium
where we normally meet is being repaired and will not be working, and
because other spaces in the building are unavailable due to a remodeling
project and other events, the chapter board has reluctantly decided that
this month's meeting will be virtual as well. We apologize for any
inconvenience this causes and plan to be back in person in September. Our
phone tree committee should be making calls to those members who do not use
email, but if you have friends who will need this information, please be
sure to share it with them.

 

Here is the information to join Saturday's meeting:

 

To dial in, call 301-715-8592. Once the call connects and you are

prompted, you will then need to dial the meeting ID, which is: 624 813 8327.
You will then need to dial the passcode 63263, which spells out NFBMD. The
direct link is:

One-tap mobile number: (301) 715-8592,,6248138327#,,63263#

 

During the meeting, you can use the following commands:

*	Pressing Alt plus A on your Windows computer, Shift plus Command
plus A on your Apple Mac, 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, Option+Y on your Apple Mac, 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.

The meeting will be jam packed with information about our upcoming Orioles
fundraiser, crab feast, and Blind Equality Achievement Month events. I will
be sending out email reminders about all these as well. I know that some of
you will have been hoping to buy your crab feast tickets in person at this
meeting. Please keep in mind that you can also do so by going to
nfbmd.org/crabs or by making your payment for tickets via Zelle to
president at nfbmd.org <mailto:president at nfbmd.org> . If you do need assistance
getting tickets, please don't hesitate to let me know.

 

See you Saturday!

 

Warmly,

 

Chris Danielsen, Chapter President
