[MD-AtLarge] Meeting Reminder and Minutes

[Sharon Maneki]

Hello All,
Tomorrow is the next meeting of the At Large Chapter beginning at 7:30 PM.
This is June 16. We will have two guest speakers: Anil Lewis and Melissa
Riccobono. They are the friendly voices that will greet you when you attend
the virtual meetings a half hour before they begin. They will explain what
they do in the talks and why you should listen to the virtual convention,
and they may even have a couple of surprises.

The minutes of the May meeting are below:

The National Federation of the Blind of Maryland knows that blindness is
not the characteristic that defines you or your future. Everyday we raise
the expectations of blind people, because low expectations create obstacles
between blind people and our dreams. You can live the life you want;
blindness is not what holds you back.
