<p class="MsoNormal">I wanted to let you know that we will be holding an introduction to the organized blind movement on Wednesday, May 10 at 8:00 p.m. eastern. These calls, formerly known as our open houses, are designed for people who are curious about the
Federation to come and interact with members to learn what we’re all about. Denise, Tarik, and I thought we’d share the invite to this week’s call with you all so that if you want to join in on the conversation, you could do so. The invite information is below.
We hope to see you there. Also, feel free to share the meeting info with anyone who might be interested in hearing about the NFB.<o:p></o:p></p>
