[Mdpobc] FW: [Nfbnet-members-list] Washington Seminar

[Trudy Pickrel]

Dear Parents
 
FYI Please see info below about the NFB Washington Seminar. I do not have details about the Parent Leadership program at the Seminar but there is usually a parent Workshop on Sunday 26 before the Great Gathering .  I encourage you all to plan to meet on Sunday and I will find out when we are meeting with our state representative.
 
Also in January is the Day in Annapolis.  Sharon Maneki will be giving us more info on that to come.
