[NFBF-L] Exciting Changes Coming to Sunrise and Shine - Our Next Meeting will be Tomorrow, Thursday, October 1st at 9:00 AM ET, see inside for details...

Wed Sep 30 16:57:00 UTC 2026

Hello Sunrise, and Shine Family,

With preparing for the upcoming National Federation of the Blind of Florida
Affiliate Convention and working through 

Numerous other work assignments, I am getting this notice out a lot later
than I had wanted. My apologies to you all.

Tomorrow we will gather on Zoom at 9:00 AM to cover multiple topics. We'll
talk convention of course and will review some of the exciting highlights
both inside and outside of the amazing exhibit hall. We will dig into an
idea that I have about a regular tech corner session on 'Rise and Shine.
Your input is absolutely needed for this idea to work well. I can't wait to
hear what ideas you all have for me.

Our gatherings are always full of warm and welcoming attendees, we've had
over six years of incredible Zoom gatherings and I don't expect anything
different moving forward! If you have not made it into a Sunrise and Shine
or haven't been with us in a while, please take the time and join us.We'd be
thrilled to offer you a big smile and a hardy say hello.

The Zoom information is shown at the bottom of this email, (it was included
in the previous email I had sent last week.included that one for your
review).

Feel free to reach out to me if you need anything at all, including
assistance with NFB-NEWSLINER 

Warmly,

Russ Davis,

Hello Sunrise, and Shine Family!

After more than six years and more than 120 gatherings, Sunrise and Shine
will be undergoing a bit of a makeover. For the remainder of 2026, we will
be holding gatherings on a monthly basis and will be shifting our meeting
dates to the first Thursday of each month. For your calendars, this will
drop the meetings on October 1st, November 5th and December 3rd. Go ahead
and mark your calendars with those dates now. When we began 'Sunrise and
Shine with NFB-NEWSLINE way back on April 16th, 2020, many of us were
sitting at home with a strong desire to join with others, but in a safe
virtual environment. Now that the pandemic is far behind us, we have come to
realize that most of us are out of the house a lot more and that our
available time for meetings is limited, (certainly, we know that your time
is extremely valuable). We want to show respect to you and let you know that
we appreciate your limited time.

Yes, there will be fewer "Rise and Shine gatherings each month, but we hope
that the content of the meetings will be better than ever. We will be able
to take time for more preparation and when guest speakers come to visit, we
will endeavor to have the highest quality presentations. The gatherings will
still be full of fun and friendship but will also have a bit more structure.
I am grateful to our regular attendees who have been spending time with us
for over six years and to the countless others who have stopped by when
their schedules allowed. Please feel free to reach out to me with your ideas
about future meetings and about how to make our calls even better than they
have been.

Please watch for the announcement of our next meeting, again taking place
next week on October 1st, at 9:00 AM ET. We look forward to having you with
us.

I'll go ahead and post the Zoom link for the meeting below, so you can have
it handy next wweek if you need it.

Warmly,

Russ Davis, Host
