[president at nfbmd.org]

Just a reminder about upcoming deadlines.

 

Those from Maryland who are seeking financial assistance should speak with
their chapter president to find out what assistance their local chapter may
have available.  The affiliate's Financial Assistance Application Form is
now live and must be submitted by March 31, 2022.  It can be found at
<http://www.nfbmd.org/financialassistance>
http://www.nfbmd.org/financialassistance.  Please note that though the
Financial Assistance Committee will give due consideration to every
application, the affiliate has limited resources and is unable to grant
every request.  For questions about the Financial Assistance Application
Program, please reach out to your chapter president or me at
<mailto:President at nfbmd.org> President at nfbmd.org. 

 

First time national convention attendees may apply for the Kenneth Jernigan
Scholarship, which is a grant the NFB provides to people who have not
attended a national convention in person previously.  The deadline is April
15, 2022.  Visit this link for more information on how to apply.

The National Association of Blind Veterans Board of Directors has approved a
grant for first-time (in-person) veteran participants to the 2022 NFB
National Convention. The grant will be awarded for eligible veterans in an
amount up to $1,000 to attend and participate in the sessions, division
meeting, and banquet. If you know of a veteran that would be interested,
contact Vernon Humphrey at  <mailto:mr_president at nabv.org>

Yours,

Pronouns: she, her, hers

 

The National Federation of the Blind of Maryland knows that blindness is not
the characteristic that defines you or your future. Every day we raise the
expectations of blind people, because low expectations create obstacles
between blind people and our dreams. You can live the life you want;
blindness is not what holds you back.
