[NFBA-Phoenix] NFBAZ Phoenix 5/22/22 Updates

[NFBAZ Phoenix]

Happy Sunday NFB Phoenix:

 I hope everyone is enjoying the end of the weekend and is ready to take on
next week with confidence and great enthusiasm. There has been a lot of
change recently with our chapter, but this chapter has shown for years that
we are  up for any challenge. I am excited to lead this new phase of our
chapter as we continue to be the leading voice of blind Phoenicians.

 ON a personal note, my family and I truly thank this chapter's membership
for the continued support, gifts and words. It is touching and we
appreciate the chapter's love.

Please read this email about some important information to know prior to
our next chapter meeting on June 4, including about the meeting itself.

 National Convention Assistance


 How awesome will it be if our Phoenix Chapter members were all present in
New Orleans? Our chapter wants as many people to come as possible. That is
why we voted to provide small assistance to members who need it. If you
would like some financial assistance, please send an email to:
nfbphoenixchapter at gmail.com with the Subject NFBA Phoenix Convention
Assistance by Saturday June 11th. Please let me know what you plan to use
the assistance for.


 NFBA scholarship:


 May 31st is also the last day to apply for a NFBAZ state  scholarship! If
you or someone you know is going to school in the fall, please apply!
Please send an email to: aporterfield at saavi.us for more information.


Well Phoenix family,  that is all for now. Again enjoy your weekend, and
please reach out if you have questions.


Let's go build the Federation,

Jordan Moon
