<p class=MsoNormal><font size=2 face=Calibri><span style='font-size:11.0pt'>Please
join us this Saturday, September 13, at 1:30 for our regular meeting and a
discussion with Rosalind Kipping of Compassion and Choices about medical and
legal issues that we all must face at the end of our lives or in extended
illnesses. These issues affect all of us, but as blind people, we have
some additional concerns. When we are ill, simple things like finding the
call button can be an issue. We need family and friends who can advocate
on our behalf when we are too sick to do so. Also, we must navigate a
medical profession that often thinks that blindness makes our lives not worth
living. Also, we need all of those forms in accessible format so we know
what we are signing.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>

<p class=MsoNormal><font size=2 face=Calibri><span style='font-size:11.0pt'>We
have additional events coming up. Our scholarship dinner and auction will
be on Friday, October 24. Scheduling the event on Friday is new to us,
but we have done it for other events, so we will see how many people would like
to party on a Friday night. We have some good auction items in the works,
such as tickets to an event of our choice at Strathmore Hall (thanks to
Yasmin), so pleast ask all of your friends.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>

<p class=MsoNormal><font size=2 face=Calibri><span style='font-size:11.0pt'>Also,
we will spend an evening at Uno’s at Bowie Town Center (thanks to
Janice), where we will receive 10% of the earnings from those who specifically
mention the National Federation of the Blind. This will be on Tuesday,
October 14. Uno’s has a varied menu, including vegetarian and
gluten-free items.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
