[MD-Sligo] FW: [NFBMD-Presidents] [NFB-Maryland] Reminder: NFBMD Recurring COVID-19 Call Tonight

[Deborah]

Here is the one with the direct link.  Please note that we want all blind
Marylanders to know about the information we have, but this is not a
nationwide call, so it is not of much benefit to those outside of Maryland,
so do not post it on national lists.

COVID-19 Call Tonight

 

Federation Family,

I hope you are well and remaining healthy.  

 

 

I want to remind you about our weekly affiliate COVID-19 call via Zoom.  We
hold this meeting every Wednesday at 8:00PM Eastern in order to continue
sharing information in a myriad of ways so as to ensure as many members as
possible have access, and in order for us to keep connected with one another
during this unprecedented situation.  All are welcome.  We do ask that folks
exercise good conference call etiquette, including muting when not talking
(star 6).  The first part of the meeting will focus on pushing out
information and hearing from you things that are relevant to Maryland's
blind during the COVID-19 outbreak.  The second part will be an opportunity
to catch up with one another and socialize with our Federation family.

I want to also remind you that NFBMD attempts to share information, support
one another, and keep connected with our members and friends during the time
of the Coronavirus crisis in a number of ways.  In addition to our Wednesday
evening calls, we update our COVID-19 webpage regularly (usually daily) with
statistics, resources, and opportunities (including a schedule of free
trainings and webinars).  Please visit this page at
http://www.nfbmd.org/coronavirus.  

 

This week, NFBMD launched our COVID-19 Emergency Assistance Fund.  This fund
provides financial assistance to blind individuals and families with a blind
member who are experiencing financial hardship as a result of the
coronavirus.  This fund will provide financial assistance for essential
needs such as groceries and medication.  If you or someone you know is
interested in requesting assistance from the NFBMD COVID-19 Emergency
Assistance Fund, please contact me at President at nfbmd.org
<mailto:President at nfbmd.org>  or at 443-426-4110.  If you or someone you
know wishes to make a financial contribution to augment this fund, please
reach out to me using the same contact information.

 

If, at any point, you need to get in touch with me or you have an urgent
need for assistance, please call me at 443-426-4110, text me at
708-829-0523, or email me at President at nfbmd.org
<mailto:President at nfbmd.org> .  The NFB of Maryland Board and I are standing
by to support you.

 

Stay healthy and safe!

 

Regards,

Ronza

 

 

 

Ronza Othman, President

National Federation of the Blind of Maryland

443-426-4110

 

The National Federation of the Blind of Maryland knows that blindness is not
the characteristic that defines you or your future. Every day 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.
