> Hello,
>  
> The National Federation of the Blind of Maryland needs your help. Every year we put on one of our biggest fundraisers in old Ellicott city. We partner with the Ellicott City Partnership to transform Main St  into a world of Harry Potter inspired mischief & magical treats all weekend. Magic will be coming to Ellicott City this year on both October 5th and 6th.
>  
> This event is only successful if we have enough volunteers to run the various activities throughout the weekend. Yes, the weekend is long but  all proceeds go to college scholarships, our BELL academy, advocating for our legislation in Annapolis, creating activities for both parents and children, helping blind people attend NFB training centers, and so much more. Volunteers are needed for the following:
>     •    Assisting with event setup and decorations
>     •    Guiding visitors and providing information
>     •    Organizing magical activities and games
>     •    Ensuring the safety and enjoyment of all attendees
>     •    And much more!  
>  
> October is Blindness Equality Achievement monthwhich is a time to remember history, advance equality, and Celebrate accomplishments of the blind. This is a great opportunity for families to volunteer, especially for our blind children. We always find ways to have our blind children volunteer so they can show case the capabilities of the blind and help the public disspell any misconceptions of blindness.
