It seems as though we are actually having a Winter this year, and I am ready for the warmup! Well, we always have a welcoming and warm environment at the Northern Delaware Chapter meeting where all are invited to join in on the discussions, planning, and fun. Our meeting will be held on Monday, February 24, 2025, at 6:30 pm via Zoom. Our minutes will be read at 6 pm. The agenda and Zoom link are below. I have not received the minutes from Sylvia yet, but I have attached the AI Summary from Zoom. With minimal corrections it provides a decent summary of what we talked about. Check it out… it is really interesting and a little scary what this technology can do! Speaking of AI, our Tech Talk at the end of our meeting will introduce/discuss several AI Apps that are accessible to screen readers and voice over. Please join us for what I am sure will be an interesting meeting.<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>Sincerely… Carol King-Ries<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>President, NFB Northern Delaware Chapter<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>Live the life you want with love, hope, and determination!<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal style='text-autospace:none'><span style='font-family:"Times New Roman",serif'>Zoom link:<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman",serif'>Join Zoom Meeting<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><a href="https://zoom.us/j/5108560205?pwd=MXFNdW5MQ2wzYmdSTHZEUWlMc3hWdz09"><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman",serif'>https://zoom.us/j/5108560205?pwd=MXFNdW5MQ2wzYmdSTHZEUWlMc3hWdz09</span></a><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman",serif'><o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman",serif'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman",serif'>Meeting ID: 510 856 0205<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman",serif'>Passcode: 11192020<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman",serif'>One tap mobile<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman",serif'>+13017158592,,5108560205# US (Washington DC)<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman",serif'>+13092053325,,5108560205# US<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:11.0pt'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><b>NFB Northern Delaware Chapter Meeting Agenda<o:p></o:p></b></p><p class=MsoNormal><b>Date: Monday, February 24, 2025<o:p></o:p></b></p><p class=MsoNormal><b>Time: 6:30 pm (minutes read at 6 pm)<o:p></o:p></b></p><p class=MsoNormal><b>Location: Virtual via Zoom<o:p></o:p></b></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><b>Call to order: C.
