This Program has meant so much to so many blind people since President Roosevelt signed it into law almost a century ago and we hope you will take a few minutes out of your busy schedule to join to celebrate its accomplishments and to recognize the pioneers who led the way. It will be both fun and informative with a look back at our history and a peek ahead at our future. Jim and Susan Gashel will be our featured presenters and you will hear from some blind entrepreneurs and SLAs. There will be much more including a happy birthday song and a new AI generated interview with Jennings Randolph himself. You will also get the latest updates on all of the happenings in Randolph-Sheppard. <o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal style='margin-bottom:8.0pt;line-height:13.8pt'> WHAT: Randolph-Sheppard 90<sup>th</sup> Birthday Celebration<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal style='margin-bottom:8.0pt;line-height:13.8pt'> WHEN: 2:00 PM \u2013 3:30 PM EDT on Thursday, June 18, 2026<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal style='margin-bottom:8.0pt;line-height:13.8pt'> WHERE: Zoom<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal align=center style='margin-bottom:8.0pt;text-align:center;line-height:13.8pt'>Join Zoom Meeting<o:p></o:p></p></div></div></blockquote><p class=MsoNormal align=center style='mso-margin-top-alt:0in;margin-right:.5in;margin-bottom:8.0pt;margin-left:.5in;text-align:center;line-height:13.8pt'><a href="https://nfb-org.zoom.us/j/98661046315?pwd=xiqabCJcWDA9Pd6ZLEpyXXcggPJmRe.1">https://nfb-org.zoom.us/j/98661046315?pwd=xiqabCJcWDA9Pd6ZLEpyXXcggPJmRe.1</a><o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal align=center style='mso-margin-top-alt:5.0pt;margin-right:.5in;margin-bottom:8.0pt;margin-left:.5in;text-align:center;line-height:13.8pt'><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman",serif'> </span><o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal align=center style='margin-bottom:8.0pt;text-align:center;line-height:13.8pt'>Meeting chat link<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal align=center style='margin-bottom:8.0pt;text-align:center;line-height:13.8pt'><a href="https://nfb-org.zoom.us/launch/jc/98661046315" target="_blank">https://nfb-org.zoom.us/launch/jc/98661046315</a><o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal align=center style='margin-bottom:8.0pt;text-align:center;line-height:13.8pt'>Meeting ID: 986 6104 6315<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal align=center style='margin-bottom:8.0pt;text-align:center;line-height:13.8pt'>Passcode: 183590<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal align=center style='margin-bottom:8.0pt;text-align:center;line-height:13.8pt'>One tap mobile<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal align=center style='margin-bottom:8.0pt;text-align:center;line-height:13.8pt'>+16469313860,,98661046315# US<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal align=center style='margin-bottom:8.0pt;text-align:center;line-height:13.8pt'>+13017158592,,98661046315# US (Washington DC)<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal align=center style='margin-bottom:8.0pt;text-align:center;line-height:13.8pt'>Join by SIP<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal align=center style='margin-bottom:8.0pt;text-align:center;line-height:13.8pt'>\u2022 <a href="mailto:98661046315@zoomcrc.com" target="_blank">98661046315@zoomcrc.com</a><o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal align=center style='margin-bottom:8.0pt;text-align:center;line-height:13.8pt'>Passcode: 183590<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal align=center style='margin-bottom:8.0pt;text-align:center;line-height:13.8pt'> <o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal align=center style='margin-bottom:8.0pt;text-align:center;line-height:13.8pt'>Join instructions<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal align=center style='margin-bottom:8.0pt;text-align:center;line-height:13.8pt'><a href="https://nfb-org.zoom.us/meetings/98661046315/invitations?signature=g8XVvrsC8SmxOqgGdbd4tVUDKdK1J-8XD2QkYVBzoXI" target="_blank">https://nfb-org.zoom.us/meetings/98661046315/invitations?signature=g8XVvrsC8SmxOqgGdbd4tVUDKdK1J-8XD2QkYVBzoXI</a><o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal align=center style='margin-bottom:8.0pt;text-align:center;line-height:13.8pt'> <o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal style='margin-bottom:8.0pt;line-height:13.8pt'> We look forward to your joining us.
