I can’t wait and am so excited to see those of you who will be there with us! If you can not be with us there, please register and attend virtually. We always learn so much and I find that it gives me a boost of energy to come back home and work even harder to achieve the advocacy work we do to help all blind and low vision people to get closer to living the lives we want! <o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:11.0pt'>At this year’s exhibit hall, we will sell the rest of our T-shirts, as well as NFB reusable bags with straps full of Massachusetts goodies. In these bags, we will have a bottle of water, Cape Cod Potato chips, Fig Newtons, Boston Baked Bean Candy and Ocean spray snacks. If you have not spoken with Shirley, about when you can work at our table, please reach out to her today. 615-598-5020 <o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:11.0pt'>In addition, we need a few good people to help us transport our T-shirts down there. Shirley, Stephanie and I have agreed to take T-shirts and the cloth Bags. But, we could really use 2 or 3 others, to help carry the load. Kyra and Ellen are purchasing and transporting the snacks and water there.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:11.0pt'>So, if you will be a team player and help us with a suitcase full of shirts, we sure could use the help and would truly appreciate your commitment to our movement. Please let me know by Friday. Thank you.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:11.0pt'>I hope each of you have a wonderful rest of your week and have a celebratory Holiday weekend! <o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:11.0pt'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:11.0pt'>With Love, Hope, and Determination, <o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:11.0pt'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:11.0pt'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:11.0pt'>Shara Winton<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:11.0pt'>President, National federation of the Blind of Massachusetts<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:11.0pt'><a href="http://www.nfbma.org/"><span style='color:#0563C1'>www.nfbma.org</span></a><o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:11.0pt'><a href="mailto:sharawinton@gmail.com"><span style='color:#0563C1'>sharawinton@gmail.com</span></a><o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:11.0pt'>617-304-0347<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p></div></body></html>
