Hello Debbie, I am sorry to have missed the meeting today. I have not been feeling well today and did not check my Email until now. I am hoping to be at the Bowling , and the pancake breakfast. I do have a family conflict on July 18 and will not be able to participate at Publix.

Thanks,
Shanti

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 of the Blind to achieve equality, opportunity, and security for the blind; to support the policies and programs of the Federation; and to abide by its constitution.

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.
