[Debbie Malone]

Hi All,
Sorry for the late agenda. I have had computer issues and family stuff this
week. Anyway I look forward to seeing anyone who can make it. I realize
this is Yvonne's dat's service so many of you will attend. I completely
Respect that.
Anyone who will not be at the meeting please let me know a few things.
1. What time do you want to man our table at Publix on July 18 between
8:00AM and whenever. I would like for us to be there until at least 2pm if
possible. I know it will be hot but this is a great opportunity to sell
Pancake Breakfast tickets and do some outreach.
2. What will your responsibilities be for the Pancake Breakfast?
3. Do you have a raffle basket and wht does it contain?
4. Will you be attending the Bowling event on July 11.

I have most of this information, but want to confirm. Thank you to all of
you. You are truely appreciated.

Pledge:

I pledge to participate actively in the efforts of the National Federation

One Minute Message

The National Federation of the Blind knows that blindness is not the
characteristic that defines you or your future. Every day we raise the
expectations of blind people because low expectations create obstacles
between blind people and our dreams. You can live the life you want;
blindness is not what holds you back.
