I do have a little input about the event however I would like to see us do more in person events. I think since we are an in person organization, we need to slowly start moving away from virtual Zoom calls when we are all in the local area. Just my two cents of course. Hope everyone has a wonderful and blessed Christmas filled with love, family, and good food.<br id="lineBreakAtBeginningOfSignature"><div dir="ltr">Sent from my iPhone</div><div dir="ltr"><br><blockquote type="cite">On Dec 14, 2025, at 10:13\u202fPM, Fallon Minichiello via NFBF-Jacksonville <nfbf-jacksonville@nfbnet.org> wrote:<br><br></blockquote></div><blockquote type="cite"><div dir="ltr">\ufeff<meta http-equiv="content-type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8"><p style="margin: 0px; font-style: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; font-width: normal; font-size: 20px; line-height: normal; font-family: "Helvetica Neue"; font-size-adjust: none; font-kerning: auto; font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-position: normal; font-variant-emoji: normal; font-feature-settings: normal; font-optical-sizing: auto; font-variation-settings: normal;"><b><span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space:pre"> </span>Hello chapter,</b></p>

I am finally getting a chance to send this on behalf of the events committee. We had a great time at our holiday gathering last weekend at Mellow Mushroom and missed those of you that were not be able to make it. For those of you that were not at our holiday gathering, it was announced that we would like some input for our next gathering. What is this gathering, you may ask? Well, that\u2019s where you come in. We have a few options for a gathering that will be on New Year\u2019s Eve or New Year\u2019s Day. In the past, the chapter has gone out to eat on New Year\u2019s Day and would like to do something similar and have a few other options that have been suggested to us. Based on the options below, please let us know which one you would like to pick.</p>
