Debbie,

National Harbor will go in with Sligo for the resolution. I was shocked
whenI read the article.

Debbie, 

Based upon the article in the post, the RFP will be out end of this month.
They will  be considering the RFP during the month of December and award the
contract in January. 

May be we need to have a resolution at the state convention to enforce our
policy. Another way to ensure that there are no problems later.

Terry, that is a question we all have been asking.

They have to give to the AAC (which Queen is on) a report about missed trips
and no-shows.  I don't think it was generally broken down by cabs or regular
contractors.  That is a statistic we need to have.  It sounds as if this
same-day service is different from the normal MetroAccess, and you would
know that's what you were doing when you ordered it, and you would hopefully
understand that's what you were doing.  I know when I call a cab that my
body had better be outside or it might leave me-although cabs are routinely
calling before they come these days.  Nothing I have read says that Uber
will be doing regular MetroAccess trips.  Nevertheless, if MetroAccess is
managing it, it is in violation of the NFB of Maryland resolution.

How can we trust this to go into effect, when some of the cab drivers, now,
will not go to the door and let a blind person know they are there.  They
either do not go at all or do not go to the door and put you down as a no
show, in both cases.

They were supposed to put on my record, no cabs, but when I change my pick
up, related to work, then they think they can use a cab.  Once in a while,
they do use a cab anyway.

Action is the most reliable for coming to find the client.

After how Henry's DOORs counceler has been treated by this company, I do not
trust them.

How can I communicate if I do not have a smart phone?

What a mess!!!

Debbie, 

At the chapter meeting we would like to get an update about metro access and
their ability ride program. 

Also we will have the Board of Elections who can register people and quietly
show the features of the machine. 

Last month meeting you gave out the raffle tickets. I did not get what I
asked. If I come to the meeting, I will get them. Otherwise, we will wait
for a better date.

We have many events coming up in September and October.

Saturday, September 17:  Bake sale at the Greenbelt Giant, 6000 Greenbelt
Road.  We really need bakers.  Janice steps up to the plate for every baking

friends to bake something.  If you are not a baker, give your friends some
money to bake something.  

Saturday, October 1:  Scholarship dinner and auction, Bidding for
Opportunity.  Tickets are $40.  If you bring yourself and a friend, we will
get very close to filling the room.  Bring your money on Saturday if you
can.  Also, bring a description of your auction item, or bring the item
itself.  

Saturday, October 8:  Chapter meeting at which we will have Leslie Bowman
from LBPH.

Saturday, October 22:  Friends meeting at LBPH in Baltimore, at which the
author Phyllis Reynolds Naylor will appear.

Friday-Sunday, October 28-30:  NFB of Maryland state convention.  I will
send you more information in a separate email.  We will have the usual
banquet and luncheons, but on Friday evening we will have pizza and a
performance.  The Braille is Beautiful Players will perform "Sorry, Wrong
Number."  I am still looking for people to participate in the Braille is
Beautiful Players.  Please let me know if you are interested in being a
star.  You must be a fairly good braille reader.

If you have raffle tickets filled out, and if you have money, please bring
it on Saturday.

Debbie Brown
