</SPAN></SPAN></SPAN>BIG BABY NEWS! This just in! Melissa Treaster, former
president of the Tricounty Chapter of the NFBMD, and her husband, James,
joyfully welcomed their son, Connor Treaster, yesterday evening, March 11.
Connor weighed 8 pounds, 8 ounces, and was 20.1 inches long. He certainly took
his time before making an appearance, but all seems to be going well for
everyone… Aside from the fact that I don’t believe any of the family has gotten
much sleep in the past few days. Congratulations to everyone in the Treaster
family!<o:p></o:p></P>

</SPAN></SPAN></SPAN>Join Team NFBMD and Become an Imaginator!: As you may have
heard in the Presidential Release, Uncle Whozit is counting on you! The National
Federation of the Blind has a goal to raise $300000 for the Imagination Fund by
May 31, 2014. The Imagination Fund not only supports NFB Jernigan Institute
programs, it also helps fund special programs and projects in state affiliates.
Raising money for the Imagination Fund means finding other peoples’ money! If
you want to support the NFB personally, please consider joining the PAC Plan
(More about the PAC Plan next week!) If you want to be an Imaginator and raise
money for the Imagination Fund as part of Team NFBMD, , please reach out to your
family, friends, business contacts, etc. and tell them why the National
Federation of the Blind is important to you. Please ask them for a donation.

NFBMD by visiting <A
href="https://app.mobilecause.com/public/social/9716">https://app.mobilecause.com/public/social/9716</A>
As a member of Team NFBMD, please feel free to visit this page yourself and use
the links provided to ask for donations from your Facebook friends and Twitter
followers. You can also send a customized email to your contacts directly from
this page and encourage them to donate. If you are asking someone for a donation
in person, you can have him or her text the word Maryland to 71777. Or, donors
can send a check made out to NFB with Imagination Fund Maryland in the memo line
to 200 East Wells St.; Baltimore, MD 21230. The NFBMD has a goal to raise $7500
in commemoration of the upcoming 75<SUP>th</SUP> anniversary of the national
Federation of the Blind. This seems like a large number, but I know we will be
able to achieve this goal if we all participate as one team and reach out to
those we know to ask them for their help. (Please note: As of now, the NFBMD
page shows a picture of me and my family. It also currently has text which is
more personal to me. In the next few minutes, I will be putting in a request to
have the text changed, and I plan to take a picture this Saturday which will be
posted on our page. Please do not hesitate to get the word out about our goal
before these changes are made, but if you feel more comfortable sending out a
message after our page is completely up to date, that is fine as well. I would
guess the page should be completely changed by Monday afternoon, March
17<SUP>th</SUP>.)<o:p></o:p></P>

<BR>Dame of Maryland University will be conducting two chemistry
activities for blind elementary school students. These activities will take
place at the Jernigan Institute (200 East Wells Street; Baltimore) from 1-4 PM.
Students will work in very small groups to explore chemical reactions. There is
no cost for this event, but space is limited! If you would like to sign your
child up for this event, please get in touch with me so I can include him or her
on my list. This is a unique opportunity, and one I’m sure many children would
enjoy.<o:p></o:p></P>

</SPAN></SPAN></SPAN>Odin Mobile is a wireless provider dedicated to offering
cellular service to individuals who are blind or visually impaired. The company
offers a variety of cellular phones, including the ODIN VI—a basic mobile phone
that is accessible to individuals who are blind. This phone is a great
choice for people who just want to make calls, manage contacts, text-message,
and perform other basic tasks. <o:p></o:p></P>
<P class=MsoPlainText>Odin Mobile also sells the Nexus from Google, a
top-of-the-line smartphone which offers the latest in Android
accessibility. Anyone who purchases this smartphone receives one-on-one
tutorials, as well as special customer support. The tutorials and support
are provided by an expert in Android, who is also blind.
<o:p></o:p></P>
<P class=MsoPlainText><o:p></o:p> </P>
<P class=MsoPlainText>With monthly airtime rates as low as $10 per month, Odin
Mobile has plans to fit various budgets and needs. Customers also receive
a free month of service for every friend they refer to Odin Mobile. Perhaps best
of all, when a customer mentions that they are an NFB member, he or she will
receive a special 5 percent discount on Odin Mobile talk and text plans.
The NFB will receive a percentage of the revenue that Odin Mobile generates from
NFB members, so you help the NFB, as well. <o:p></o:p></P>
