<p class="MsoNormal">Good Morning NFB Family! Tomorrow, Monday, June 12 at 6PM we will be having our next Cambridge chapter meeting. The meeting will be held at the Cambridge Citywide Senior Center, 806 Massachusetts Avenue. This is a very important meeting
as we will be holding a special election to elect a new vice-president for the chapter. You must be there in-person to cast your vote. We also have a lot of details to share with you, regarding the upcoming national convention! You will be stuck with
me, as our beloved Justin has been injured and is out of state at the moment. <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">We are happy to announce that Shirley will be bringing water, chips and banana bread to the meeting. Following the meeting, we will have a social gathering nearby We hope every one of you will be able to come out and join us for this important

<p class="MsoNormal">Our meetings are held on the second floor.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">When you enter the building you will enter from the sidewalk to automatically opening doors, you will walk through them to a second set of sliding doors. Proceed to walk forward about 20 feet and take a small right. Here is where you will
find the stairs leading to the second floor. When you reach the second floor, you will need to make a left and through the door that leads to the open floor. You will then walk forward about 30 feet to find the door to the arts and crafts room.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">If you need the elevator, after coming through the two sets of doors at the entrance, you will go forward about 25 feet then walk forward another few steps until you reach the main hallway, Take a right in to the hallway. Go about half
way down the hall way or about 50-60 feet and there will be a recessed area in which you will find the elevator on your right. There is only 4 floors. You will need to press the 2 for the second floor. When you arrive at the second floor, you will walk a few
steps, out to the main hallway. Here you will take a left. Walk approximately 10 feet and then take a right in to the arts and crafts room.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">We are not allowed to enter this space before 5:30 and must have left by 7:45P.M. Please be sure to pick up all of your belongings, including any trash. Also, they ask that we do not wander in other parts of the building. Keep this space
better than you found it, so that we may continue to be welcomed here. The bathrooms are directly across from the Arts and Crafts room.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Now for the walking directions from the T.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Please note: these directions were specific before the pandemic. We cannot be positive that there have not been any changes of the businesses or signals. But, this is the best and most specific I can be at this time. If you are aware
of any changes in relation to these directions, please let us know.<o:p></o:p></p>
