Yes, we were disappointed, but we all vowed to return when the meeting was reset. Not only do we need the crowd from the first meeting to return, we need even more folks to be present. A review of all 21 meetings held so far revealed that 56 different individuals have attended meetings during our 2022 Washington Seminar. Although this number is impressive, what I am aware of is that, many in our Affiliate have not made it out to any meetings as yet. I have confidence that we can dramatically increase the number of different individuals attending our meetings as we move closer to concluding our 2022 Washington Seminar.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='color:#1F497D'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='color:#1F497D'>Tuesday’s meeting with Charlie Crist’s office will be the perfect opportunity for you to come and support the active members presenting our legislative priorities and to show support for the priorities themselves. With this email, I am personally asking for just a small amount of your time on Tuesday, about 30 minutes or so. You’ll have the opportunity to learn what goes on at a meeting with Congressional staff and your presence will absolutely demonstrate that we as blind Floridians want support to help us all live the lives we want.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='color:#1F497D'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='color:#1F497D'>Please feel free to reach out to me with any questions you may have.
