The chapter meeting will be this Saturday, October 11.  We will have a
presentation on Odin mobile phones, which are usable and available to
blind people.  If you meet certain income requirements, you may get
these phones free.  Many low-income people can get a phone through
special programs, but none of the phones available are accesible to the
blind.

We have a busy next few months of events.  Here are some of them, for
our chapter and state affiliate.

Tuesday, October 14:  From 4:00 to 9:00 p.m., we will be at Uno's, 4001
Town Center Boulevard,  Bowie, MD 20716.  If you and your friends buy
dinner and mention that you are helping the National Federation of the
Blind Sligo Creek chapter, we will get 10% of the cost of your meal.
You can increase our donations by taking an order home for tomorrow;.

Nuts will be in on Monday.  We are selling 2 new kinds of nuts, and we
are dropping some that were not selling well.  We have a nut sale
scheduled at the Greenbelt '

giant, 6000 Greenbelt Road, on October 18.

The dinner for our scholarship fund is on Friday, October 24.  We are
getting some nice auction items, but we would like a few more.  Five
people have paid so far.  The cost is $30 a person.  If you want to
reserve a table, you should pay $240 by October 17.

On October 25, the Friends of the Library will have a presentation
honoring volunteers.  Their speaker will be Tony Pann, a Baltimore
weather forecaster who \has written a children's book.  This is from
10:00 to noon and will be at the library, 415 Park Avenue in Baltimore.

Also on October 25, the National Harbor chapter will have a resource day
at Colmar Manor Town Hall, 3701 Lawrence Street, Colmar Manor.  They
will have an emphasis on health issues, but there will be other services
that you can check out.

On November 1 we will begin a new Braille Rocks club.  We will be
working with young children who were with us in the BELL program.

Our state convention will be November 15-17.  Please plan to be there.
We will be leaving from New Carrollton at 8:00 Friday morning, November
14.  

As you can see, this is a busy time.  There will be a few opportunities
to help us fundraise and get publicity for us.
