[NFBF-Jacksonville] National Federation of the Blind of Florida Greater Jacksonville April Chapter Meeting

Wed Apr 3 23:50:05 UTC 2024

Greetings Fellow Federationists:

It is time for our April chapter meeting. I can not believe it is April
already. This meeting should prove to be a busy one, so come early,  so you
can get a good seat.

For the month of April, we will have a guest speaker. Cydney Parker, the
District Legislative Director for Senator Rick Scott  has agreed to attend
our meeting and listen as a few of us present the NFB's legislative issues
for 2024. She was unable to meet with our delegation during our recent trip
to Washington, so we thought it would be a great idea to invite her to one
of our meetings. This way she can see for herself what the NFB really is,
and hear our issues at the same time.  This will also give those of you who
have never participated in Washington Seminar a little taste of what goes
on.

Our guest has another engagement on Saturday, so we will need to start
promptly. I encourage all of you to come in person, and come early.

We will  again meet at the Presbyterian Apartments in Riverside. The address
is 1045 Oak St,  Jacksonville, FL 32204. Thanks goes out to Denise for
securing this location for us.

As  always we will have a Zoom room set up for this meeting. The call in
instructions are at the bottom of the agenda.

I look forward to seeing everyone at the meeting.

The National Federation of the Blind of Florida, Greater Jacksonville
Chapter will meet, Saturday, April 6, 2024, at the Presbyterian House
Apartments, 1045 Oak St Jacksonville,  FL 32204, in the first floor lounge,
