The meeteing room is downstairs.<o:p></o:p></p><p>Because the NFB of Maryland in-person gathering policy is still in effect, you are required to wear masks to the meeting. If you have symptoms of covid (fever, sore throat, runny nose, cough), please stay home. Also, stay home if you have been exposed to anyone with covid symptoms. Because it is spring, if you have allergy symptoms, you should know that covid has the same symptoms, and you should be absolutely sure you do not have covid before you interact with other people. <o:p></o:p></p><p>We will serve refreshments. All of the refreshments will be bagged and should be eaten while stationary, not walking around. <o:p></o:p></p><p>Please bring money for 2022 dues if you have not already paid. Dues are $5 a year or $100 for life membership.<o:p></o:p></p><p>We will have Dr. Zelaya from the board of elections, or possibly his representative, to show the voting machine to those of you who have not used it. If you have never voted independently as a blind person, now is the time to try. He will also help people register to vote or change their address.<o:p></o:p></p><p>We are doing the spring raffle again this year. Tickets are $5, and drawings will be held throughout the month of May. If your name is drawn on a weekday or Sunday, you win $50; if it is drawn on a Saturday, you win $100. If the NFB of Maryland sells all of the tickets, there are additional prizes. Please let me know how many tickets you want. We will be distributing numbers electronically unless someone absolutely needs paper tickets. <o:p></o:p></p><p>Basket bingo tickets are sold out, so if you have not bought one by now, you are out of luck this year. We hope that next year the pandemic will be over and we can sell more tickets.<o:p></o:p></p><p>Convention registration is open. I will be checking flights this week. If you were listening to the presidential release, you know that masks and covid testing will be required for those attending the convention.<o:p></o:p></p><p>I am looking forward to seeing everyone. If you can’t make this meeting, we will be meeting on Zoom in April.<o:p></o:p></p><p>Debbie<o:p></o:p></p><p> <o:p></o:p></p><p> <o:p></o:p></p></div></body></html>
