[Massachusetts-NFB] Agenda, Zoom Link, and directions to Cambridge Chapter meeting on Monday

Thu Nov 10 20:30:24 UTC 2022

Hi, Justin, and thanks for that information.  Masha and I probably will 
attend via Zoom this coming Monday, since we both have meetings afterwards.

Concerning what to do when getting out of Central station near the 
Starbucks, Masha and I have found it a little easier to cross Prospect 
first and then cross Mass. Ave.  (I've done it both ways.) If this note 
doesn't help, feel free to ignore it.

Best!
