That would then dovetail into promoting state convention\u2026</span></li>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 11.0pt; mso-ansi-language: EN;">You can always count on the Greater Alexandria Chapter to dish it up nice, and our August meeting will certainly not disappoint! The introductory flavor of the evening will be a word from our Delegate to Virginia\u2019s 16th District, and friend and Champion to the Greater Alexandria Chapter, Paul Krizek! Our second course will be a tossed salad of important info about a new publication on first aid you won\u2019t want to miss; the shared experience of two First-Timers at the NFB National Convention; and a teaser regarding our NFBV State Convention that will certainly wet your whistle! And our main course will be an experience you will need all your important senses to fully enjoy\u2014your sense of FUN and LAUGHTER, with a hint of COURAGE to get involved! It is our version of Night at the Improv, and it will be a full contact sport! So, gather up your quick wit, sassy lingo, and your favorite drink and snack, and come ready to play! </span></p>
