Hello Debbie and list,
I will definitely be at the Scholarship auction on the 24th! Do you know what time it will be starting? I'm hoping to bring a crowd from Baltimore with me!

These issues affect all of us, but as blind people, we have some additional concerns.  When we are ill, simple things like finding the call button can be an issue.  We need family and friends who can advocate on our behalf when we are too sick to do so.  Also, we must navigate a medical profession that often thinks that blindness makes our lives not worth living.  Also, we need all of those forms in accessible format so we know what we are signing.

Scheduling the event on Friday is new to us, but we have done it for other events, so we will see how many people would like to party on a Friday night.  We have some good auction items in the works, such as tickets to an event of our choice at Strathmore Hall (thanks to Yasmin), so pleast ask all of your friends.

This will be on Tuesday, October 14.  Uno’s has a varied menu, including vegetarian and gluten-free items.
