Greetings to all of our members, friends and supporters,

We are excited to announce that the Greater Jacksonville Chapter of the
National Federation of the Blind of Florida will hold a regular monthly
meeting this Saturday. Our monthly meetings are normally held on the first
Saturday of each month from 10:00 AM until noon. The upcoming meeting will
be our last regular meeting of 2025, as we do not normally hold meetings in
July or December. Even though we will offer a Zoom connection to the
meeting, we very much hope that you will choose to join us in person. The
Zoom link will be shown at the bottom of this email.

The specific meeting information and meeting agenda are as follows:
