<p class=MsoNormal>Hello Everyone,<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>This is a reminder of Maryland Day, which will take place at
the National Center for the Blind on Saturday, August 29 from 9:00-4:30. The
address for the center is 1800 Johnson Street; Baltimore, MD 21230. You
enter on the Wells Street side of the building.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>There is no cost for this event, but I do need to know how
many people are coming so I can give a count to the center staff for food
purposes. Right now I know we have groups from Sligo Creek, Cumberland, the
Eastern Shore, Greater Baltimore, and our new Upper Chesapeake Chapter.
If you have not all ready let your chapter president know you are coming,
please email me directly at president@nfbmd.org or call me at 410-235-3073.<o:p></o:p></p>
