As the situation with COVID-19 continues to impact our communities and with the reopening of businesses, the circumstances require us to deal with unexpected challenges. As members of the Federation, we welcome the opportunity to remain independent and demonstrate that we’re capable of continuing to live, work and play independently. But, Just when we think we’ve got a handle on how to move forward, a challenge will be presented without an immediate solution available. Your local chapter continues to remain committed to ensuring that we all work together and share information so that all of us may continue to live the lives we want. Do you have a question or issue which you have been unable to resolve? Have you experienced issues with receiving assistance at businesses or encountered access or accommodation issues? Have you been impacted by the civil unrest? We want to know about it. For our August meeting, we plan to work toward getting answers to questions you may have surrounding these and other points of concern. You’re invited to send your questions to Lonnie Swafford at <a href="mailto:lonnie@nfbofky.org">lonnie@nfbofky.org</a>. We will work toward finding some answers and solutions we all may discuss together. Since this will be our first time attending a virtual national convention, this will also be an excellent opportunity to share experiences, especially with those who may have been unable to attend a particular session or event. Thank you for helping us stay strong and support each other. Stay healthy, stay safe, stay connected!<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><b><span style='font-size:14.0pt'>Lonnie T.
