[nabs-l] Reminder: VABS "Bowl with the Blind"

[Robert Parsons]

Greetings NABS

 

Time is quickly approaching for the VABS "Bowl with the Blind" on October 7,
2017 from 1pm-5pm. This event will kick off the National Federation of the
Blind of Virginia's celebration of National Meet the Blind Month. This is
your chance to connect with other students, bring your friends and family
out to have an appropriate time on a Saturday, and raise awareness of the
abilities of blind people in our great state. 

 

Being as this is the first Virginia affiliate  division event for Meet the
Blind Month in a very long time, I will challenge you to go outside your
comfort zone. This is an event that is in a city that is further away from
usual NFBV events in Richmond, Fredericksburg, and Northern Virginia. Let's
show the power of the Federation by making a trek to an event to support our
students just because it is an exciting thing to do. We can't raise
awareness for independence if you guys are going to depend on staying home.

 

We are raffling off an Amazon Tap Bluetooth speaker equipped with Alexa" to
raise funds for more projects, events, and social outings. Come support your
student division and have a wonderful time doing it near the beach. 

 

Location: Pin Boys at the Beach

1577 Laskin Rd. Ste. 100

Virginia Beach, VA 23451

 

There are so many opportunities to make it to this event. Aside from the
bowling alley being near Greyhound and Amtrak services, the division has
chartered vans going from both Richmond and Northern Virginia. If you are
interested in this opportunity, please feel free to contact Robert Parsons
at 804 801 7674 for prices. We look forward to connecting with you at the
bowling alley.

 

Best Regards
