This is because our national board is having its meeting there. The chapter meeting begins at 10:00 a.m. as usual. We expect a visit from a Yellow Cab representative, which I am sure will be lively. Any of you who want time on the agenda should let me know today by sending an email to jmccarthynfb@earthlink.net or calling me at (443) 743-6137 or at home at (410) 366-3242. If you don't reach me through one of these methods, let me know before the meeting tomorrow of your desire to offer announcements to the chapter and time will be found if possible. I'm looking forward to seeing all of you tomorrow at our National Center for the Blind.<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>Jim McCarthy<o:p></o:p></p></div></body></html>
