She knows where the place is; she goes there often. She states that the drivers won't listen to her. could you bring this up in the next transportation meeting? Your assistance is immensely appreciated! </div><div>Sincerely, </div><div>Pam </div><div><div dir="ltr">Sent from my iPhone</div><div dir="ltr"><br><blockquote type="cite">On Nov 11, 2025, at 10:10\u202fPM, Stephen via Massachusetts-NFB <massachusetts-nfb@nfbnet.org> wrote:<br><br></blockquote></div><blockquote type="cite"><div dir="ltr">\ufeff<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=us-ascii"><meta name="Generator" content="Microsoft Word 15 (filtered medium)"><style>@font-face { font-family: "Cambria Math"; }
