The month of March will be a busy time for the National Federation of the
Blind of Illinois Chicago Chapter.

 

The first activity of significance will be our monthly meeting which is
scheduled for Saturday, March 8, 2014 at 1:00 P.M.  This meeting will be
held at Exchequer Pub and Restaurant, 226 South Wabash Avenue, Chicago.  The
program for this month will be an article entitled Santas Little Helper from
the Braille Monitor, December, 2013.  We will also hear about exciting
events happening statewide and nationally.

 

On Sunday, March 9 at 6:00 P.M, we will have a Chicago Chapter Board of
Directors meeting via a conference call.  Please call 8 0 5-3 6 0-1 0 0 0.
When asked to enter a code, please enter the code "Chicago" (2 4 4 2 2 4 6).

 

Finally, on Thursday, March 13, we will have a Night for the Ages, a
fundraiser scheduled for Dick's Last Resort, 315 North Dearborne, Chicago
from 6:00 till 8:00 P.M.  The cost for this event will be $40.  Besides
assisting the Chicago Chapter to raise much needed funds, you will be
entitled to unlimited beer, wine or soda, as well as a fine selection of
hors deuvres, meant to please those who are health conscious, as well as
those who are turned on by other types of food.  If you wish to participate
