[Greater-Baltimore] : Meeting reminder; stay after for tax preparation seminar

[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 tomorrow, Saturday, January 20. Come
join us for the first meeting of the new year as we receive the latest news
from our national and state presidents, plan for our upcoming state
convention, and conduct other important business. Also, don't forget that,
as announced in my email earlier this week, Mr. Keith D. Price will present
a tax preparation seminar and Q&A following the meeting, beginning at 1 p.m.
Between the meeting and tax seminar, the lunchroom at our meeting location
will be open so that you can consume any snacks you might have brought or
grab a beverage. This is in consideration of the needs of some of our
members, and also to provide an opportunity to socialize and bid a fond au
revoir to Lou Ann Blake and Maurice Peret, who will be heading to Hawaii in
early February as Maurice takes a new job opportunity there.

 

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. Obviously, we have decided to hold the meeting despite today's
inclement weather; however, if you cannot or do not wish to travel to the
meeting, the Zoom option will also be available for both the meeting and tax
seminar. Please do whatever you feel is best for your own safety.
