Greetings,

I hope this email finds you well and completely recovered from the national convention. The next Western Maryland chapter meeting is Saturday, August 7th at 10:00 a.m. via zoom. Zoom information is attached at the bottom of this message.

This will be our first membership meeting with the new Board of Directors. Visitors are invited to attend if you know somebody that may be interested please invite them.

Agenda news and activities:

Because we are in old chapter but in the process of rebranding we don't have a lot of old business. 

If you have an item you would like placed on the agenda for discussion please feel free to email me by replying to this message are you can call me at the shop number 240-642-8828.

We do have two new members joining the chapter. Welcome to Korra Sanches of Hagerstown and Tyler Hoppe from Mount Savage.

The Board of Directors did move forward on a active recruiting program which includes both print and radio PSA's.  Here is a copy of the text if you have a bulletin or other media source you would like to share our chapters information with.

    The Western Maryland chapter of the National Federation of the Blind is seeking new members as it starts its local membership drive! Are you blind, visually impaired or know somebody who is or maybe you work with the visually impaired? Consider joining the state's fastest growing chapter here in Western Maryland. You can live the life you want; blindness is not what holds you back.The National Federation of the Blind 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. For more information about the Western Maryland chapter and the National Federation of the Blind of Maryland please call 443-426-4110 our email at info at nfbmd.org <mailto:info at nfbmd.org> 

Cindy Holden has agreed to be the chapters membership committee leader. 

I'm looking forward to our August 7th meeting and hope you will be able to join us.
