[MD-Sligo] Chapter meeting this Saturday and other events

Tue Apr 7 13:17:03 UTC 2026

Hi all,

We still have nuts as well. We have a few cashews, several bags of mixed
nuts, some butter toffee, some pistachios, a few pecans, and some Maryland
mix. Please let me know what you want, and I will bring them to the chapter
 meeting. We need to get rid of them. They still taste good.

My cell number is 240-380-8663.

We will be meeting this Saturday at 1:30 at the Long Branch community
center, 8700 Piney Branch Road.  We will be meeting in the art room.

Gilberto Zelaya, who works for the Montgomery County Board of Elections,
will be at the meeting to demonstrate the voting machines that will be used
in the 2026 election and to help anyone, even if they are not a resident of
Montgomery County, to register to vote, change your address, or change
party affiliation.  He will also answer any questions you may have about
voting.

All of Sligo’s supply of tickets for the spring raffle are gone, but there
are probably a few left throughout the state.  If you didn’t get any and
want some, please let me know and I will try to get some for you.  Tickets
are $5, and the raffle is drawn throughout the month of May.  If your
number is drawn on Sunday through Friday, you win $50; if it is drawn on
Saturday, you win $100.

We still have a lot of candy left.  Please let me know if you want any.  We
have dark chocolate, milk chocolate, and peanut brittle bars.  The dark
chocolate and milk chocolate are $5 for two bars or $60 for a box of 24.
The peanut brittle bars are $4 a bar or $32 for a box of 8.

On Saturday, April 18 we will have a virtual seminar from 1:00 to 3:00 for
new members and prospective members.  If you have questions about what we
do in the National Federation of the Blind, this is for you.  Please let me
know if you can attend, and I will send you the link.

We will have a BELL program in Rockville this summer.  We will be looking
for volunteers, but first we need to get students.  Thanks to Morgan Estes
who has been sending the flyer far and wide!  If you have any contact with
any blind students, I will send you a copy of the flyer.  BELL stands for
Braille Enrichment for Literacy and Learning, and it is a 2-week program
for children ages 4-12 where they learn braille and other skills blind
people need, such as handling money, using a cane, and basic skills of
cooking such as measuring and pouring.

I hope to see everyone on Saturday.

Debbie
