[rachelrkuntz at gmail.com]

It is time once again to get out into the community to enjoy food and
friendship all while raising awareness of the abilities of the blind to
live, work, and achieve our dreams. The Phoenix chapter of the National
Federation of the Blind invites you and your family to walk for independence
and to picnic with us.

When: Saturday, October 1, 2022 11:00 AM to 3:00 PM

Where: Margaret T. Hance Park, 67 W. Culver St., Phoenix, AZ 85003, West
Ramada

Note: Enter the park from 3rd Ave and Culver St. The West Ramada is next to
the swing set and is a few feet from the parking lot.

The festivities will start with a celebratory walk on a paved path at the
park followed by lunch, fun, games, and door prizes. Join in the celebration
by doing any or all the following:

*	Bring a dish to share. Email, text, or call our food coordinators:

Monica Nunez, (623) 419-7207, monicapnunez1963 at gmail.com
<mailto:monicapnunez1963 at gmail.com> 

Joy Harris, (201) 618-8822, coffee4joy at gmail.com
<mailto:coffee4joy at gmail.com>  

The Phoenix chapter is providing the meat. You are invited to contribute a
side dish that is either homemade or store bought. We are also looking for
contributions of supplies, condiments, and individually packaged desserts.
Contact the food coordinators by Monday, September 26 to firm up your
contribution and to allow for us to plan a nice variety of side dishes.
Please include allergy information with your planned contribution. This will
help our friends with allergies attend without hesitation. 

*	Volunteer your time and energy for any of the following:

*	Food Handlers: to avoid extra exposure to COVID, we are assigning a
few people to prepare each plate as you make your selection from the buffet
of options. This will reduce the transfer of germs spread by shared
utensils.
*	Serve as a talking sign on the walking path. 
*	Help with party set-up and or clean-up.

*	Don't have time but want to help with expenses? Consider donating to
help off-set the cost of food and fun by bringing a monetary donation to the
picnic.

Door prizes will be given out throughout the event. Wear your NFB swag and
you will be entered to win a prize. We are also holding a 50/50 raffle to
raise funds for the chapter. Enter to win by purchasing a ticket for $1 or
by buying 6 tickets for $5. 

We look forward to enjoying our family friendly picnic and the beginning of
Blind Equity Achievement Month with you. Please let us know you are joining
us by Monday, September 26.  Contact Rachel Kuntz by text/call at
