Hi Debbie,<br>
I will definitely be at the Scholarship Banquet with lots of Baked
goods as well as other things to entertain, help keep you active and
beautiful- those are what I currently have on hand; my sister will
donate a couple of auction items as well.<br>
<br>
Unfortunately I will not be at this weeks meeting because of a
Deaf-Blind activity at the MD School for the Deaf. However, I will
definitely plan to tell you all about the Online Ballot Marker Tool
that is used with the absentee ballots. I am personally going to
use it to vote in the November elections so I will tell you how to
register for the absentee ballot (ie the website).<br>
Janice<br>

<p class="MsoNormal">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></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">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></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">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></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Our convention is coming up in November
14-16 at the Sheraton in Towson. I will be calling to see
who would like to come.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I will have raffle tickets for us to
sell. They are $1 a ticket or six for $5. The drawing
will be at the state convention, and the winners will win
$300, $100 or $50. <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">We will be selling nuts beginning in
October. Nut prices will be out after the chapter
meeting, so we will get information on the list as soon as
we decide what we will be selling.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">See you on Saturday.<o:p></o:p></p>
