The Albuquerque Chapter of the National Federation of the Blind will hold its next meeting on Tuesday, July 14, 2026. But because the NFB National Convention is starting soon, I have been asked to send an email now to ask those attending the next Albuquerque
chapter meeting to please prepare for the philosophy discussion by reading or listening to Dr. Kenneth Jernigans speech The Nature of Independence.</div>
