Our members are students and alumni of the Peabody Conservatory of Music who volunteer their time for this project. <a href="https://jhubluejays.zoom.us/j/95394171728" style="font-family:Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif" target="_blank">https://JHUBlueJays.zoom.us/j/95394171728</a>; <span style="color:rgb(80,0,80);font-family:Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif">Meeting ID: 953 9417 1728.</span></div><div style="font-family:arial,sans-serif"><span style="color:rgb(80,0,80);font-family:Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif"><br></span></div><div style="font-family:arial,sans-serif"><span style="font-family:Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif"><font color="#000000">Third, <b>November 17 - Maryland Centers to Independent Living (6:30 PM)</b></font></span></div><div style="font-family:arial,sans-serif"><font color="#000000">Centers for Independent Living (CILs) are federally established nonprofit disability resource and advocacy organizations located throughout Maryland operated by and for people with disabilities. Center staff and Boards are at least 51% people with disabilities. The Independent Living Movement believes that people with disabilities are the best experts on their needs. We value equal opportunity, self-determination, and self-respect. We reject the idea that disability is a barrier to independent living but rather the environment and attitudes of our society are the barriers. </font><span style="font-family:Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif">Join Zoom Meeting: </span><span style="font-family:Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif"><a href="https://marylandlibraries.zoom.us/j/5770178916" target="_blank">https://marylandlibraries.zoom.us/j/5770178916</a>; </span><span style="font-family:Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif">Meeting ID: 577 017 8916</span></div><div style="font-family:arial,sans-serif"><span style="color:rgb(80,0,80);font-family:Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif"><br></span></div><div style="font-family:arial,sans-serif"><span style="font-family:Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif"><font color="#000000">Great month!</font></span></div><div style="font-family:arial,sans-serif"><span style="font-family:Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif"><font color="#000000"><br></font></span></div><div style="font-family:arial,sans-serif"><span style="font-family:Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif"><font color="#000000">Have a great week everyone!</font></span></div><div style="font-family:arial,sans-serif"><span style="font-family:Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif"><font color="#000000"><br></font></span></div><div style="font-family:arial,sans-serif"><span style="font-family:Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif"><font color="#000000">Ashley</font></span></div><div style="font-family:arial,sans-serif"><span style="color:rgb(80,0,80);font-family:Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif"><br></span></div>-- <br><div dir="ltr" data-smartmail="gmail_signature"><div dir="ltr"><div dir="ltr"><div dir="ltr"><div dir="ltr"><div dir="ltr"><div dir="ltr"><div dir="ltr"><div dir="ltr"><div dir="ltr"><div dir="ltr"><div dir="ltr"><div dir="ltr"><table border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" style="background-image:initial;background-position:initial;background-repeat:initial;border-collapse:collapse">
