<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>The chapter meeting this week will be at the
Whiteoak Library, 11701 New Hampshire Avenue.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>Please let me know if you would like to go to the
Possibilities Fair. It will be at the National Center in Baltimore on
Thursday, May 17. </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>We will hold chapter elections next month.
Please pay your dues if you have not already done so.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>Last month at the chapter meeting, Judy Rasmussen
told us that the Lighthouse was working with MV Transportation to hire blind
people. If you need the phone number to call, contact me offlist and I
will give you the phone number. These jobs are working for MV directly,
not through a Lighthouse contract.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>For those of you on the group flight, the flight
information has changed. We will not have a direct flight because
apparently US Airways is not doing direct flights to Dallas from Reagan.
We have scheduled flights so that we do not leave before daylight or come home
after dark. The price has not changed.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>If you are going to convention and have not
registered, you should do so or let me know if you need it done. It isn't
hard, but you need a credit card. The registration fee is $25, the banquet
ticket is $50, and the barbecue on Tuesday night, if you decide to go, is
$40. </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>If you would like to go on a tour at the
convention, you must sign up by May 15. The only one that is not on the
Friday after convention is the Jersey Boys show, which will be on Saturday, June
30. The cost is $100.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>If you want to use Paratransit service in Dallas,
you must sign up by June 7. The number is 214-828-6717 or 214-515-7272
option 5. If Sharon Reed has talked to you about it, she has probably
already signed you up. </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>I will have a pizza party and games night on
Monday, May 28, at my apartment beginning at 4:00. I have Scrabble, Uno,
regular playing cards, and yahtzee dice. You are welcome to bring any
other games you like. Please let me know if you would like to come.
I know some of you are having family events that day, but some of us have no
family close by, so we can get together and have a party. We had a board
retreat last month, and one of the suggestions was to have more fun things to do
together, so I am happy to hear anyone's ideas.</FONT></DIV>
