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 our monthly Chapter
meeting this Saturday, March 7th from 10:00 AM until noon. The year is
already off to a fast start, (at least it sure feels that way to me). We
have much to do this year, but I know by working together we can accomplish
all of our goals. The meeting information is shown below:

Because one of our goals to grow Chapter membership, please feel free to
invite visitors to join us and let them know that they will be welcomed and
that their presence will be appreciated by all of us.

Florida

We will have Zoom available, for those who are outside the local area,

Our meetings are open to all, and whether you are a current or former
member, or someone who wants to learn more, we hope you will join us in
