[cdanielsen14 at comcast.net]

Dear Federationists:

 

This is a reminder that the monthly meeting of the Greater Baltimore Chapter
will take place this Saturday, December 21. You might wish to arrive early,
as representatives of the West North Avenue Development Authority will be
visiting us. A major redesign of the intersection of North and Druid Hill
Avenues is in the works, and the Authority's thoughtful team has prepared a
tactile model of the new design that you can explore before or after the
meeting. Erich Lange of the Development Authority will also briefly address
our meeting and explain the project. In addition, remember that our holiday
party takes place at Pizza Harbor after the meeting. Please remember that if
you plan to attend the party you should let Tracey Hall-Hennigan know by
emailing thallhennigan1825 at gmail.com

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
