[NFBMD] Special Invitation to April At-Large Chapter Meeting

[Sharon Maneki]

Hello All,

You are cordially invited to attend the April 19 meeting of the NFBMD
At-Large Chapter. We will be having a special guest speaker, Tom Anderson,
President of the Communities of Faith Division of the National Federation
of the Blind. He will be discussing "Living the Life You Want by
Participating in the Faith of Your Choice." Below is a list of accessible
Bible and religious resources that you can look at in advance. Bring your
questions to the meeting. The National President's message begins at 7:30,
followed by the meeting from 8-9 pm. The call-in number is 339-209-4083.

*Sharon Maneki, Director of Legislation and Advocacy*
National Federation of the Blind of Maryland
410-715-9596

The National Federation of the Blind of Maryland knows that blindness is
not the characteristic that defines you or your future. Everyday 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.
