Hello all:

Yesterday at the Greater Baltimore Chapter meeting, President
Riccobono mentioned a screening of a new Netflix series taking place
the evening of Wednesday, November 1, at the Library of Congress in
Washington, DC. Below and attached is more information about the
screening, as received from Netflix. The attachment probably is not
accessible, but all of the information is below, including a
description of the attachment. Please let me know by no later than
Friday, October 27, if you are interested in attending this event.
Importantly, the young actress who plays the lead role is blind,
representing a commitment to authentic casting by Netflix and the
producers of the limited series. This is in no small part due to the
advocacy of the National Federation of the Blind.

Please note: Netflix has allotted sixty tickets for area members of
the National Federation of the Blind. I'll put interested individuals
on the list on a first-come, first-served basis. At this time, no
group transportation is planned.

If you are unable to attend the screening but wish to view the series,
it will be available on Netflix beginning November 2.

Warmly,

Chris

their future. Every day we raise the expectations of and for blind
people, because low expectations create obstacles between blind people
and our dreams. We can live the lives we want; blindness is not what
holds us back. Please join us in our work by becoming a member,
