[NFB-Maryland] Reminder: NFBMD Recurring COVID-19 Call Tonight - Guest Speaker: The Blind History Lady

Wed Apr 29 12:57:33 UTC 2020

Federation Family,

I hope you are well and remaining healthy.  

I want to remind you about our weekly affiliate COVID-19 call via Zoom. We hold this meeting every Wednesday at 8:00PM Eastern in order to continue sharing information in a myriad of ways so as to ensure as many members as possible have access, and in order for us to keep connected with one another during this unprecedented situation. All are welcome. We do ask that folks exercise good conference call etiquette, including muting when not talking (star 6). The first part of the meeting will focus on pushing out information and hearing from you things that are relevant to Maryland’s blind during the COVID-19 outbreak. The second part will be a presentation by Peggy Chong of Colorado, The Blind History Lady. You won’t want to miss this week’s meeting.

I want to also remind you that NFBMD attempts to share information, support one another, and keep connected with our members and friends during the time of the Coronavirus crisis in a number of ways.  In addition to our Wednesday evening calls, we update our COVID-19 webpage regularly (usually daily) with statistics, resources, and opportunities (including a schedule of free trainings and webinars).  Please visit this page at http://www.nfbmd.org/coronavirus.  

NFBMD has a COVID-19 Emergency Assistance Fund.  This fund provides financial assistance to blind individuals and families with a blind member who are experiencing financial hardship as a result of the coronavirus.  This fund will provide financial assistance for essential needs such as groceries and medication.  If you or someone you know is interested in requesting assistance from the NFBMD COVID-19 Emergency Assistance Fund, please contact me at President at nfbmd.org <mailto:President at nfbmd.org>  or at 443-426-4110.  If you or someone you know wishes to make a financial contribution to augment this fund, please reach out to me using the same contact information.

If, at any point, you need to get in touch with me or you have an urgent need for assistance, please call me at 443-426-4110, text me at 708-829-0523, or email me at President at nfbmd.org <mailto:President at nfbmd.org> .  The NFB of Maryland Board and I are standing by to support you.

Stay healthy and safe!

Regards,

Ronza

Ronza Othman, President

National Federation of the Blind of Maryland

The National Federation of the Blind of Maryland knows that blindness is not the characteristic that defines you or your future. Every day we raise the expectations of blind people, because low expectations create obstacles between blind people and our dreams. You can live the life you want; blindness is not what holds you back.
