official nature.

1.	This policy augments any local public health requirements, including
those established by the State of Maryland and the County where the event
takes place.   This policy is the minimum required for in-person events and

local public health guidance imposes additional or more restrictive
requirements, the more restrictive requirements govern.
2.	The following individuals should stay home:

a.      Individuals who feel sick, including experiencing any of the
following symptoms: fever, sore throat, runny nose, loss of smell or taste,
or those ordinarily associated with COVID-19;

gathering due to the pandemic may choose between requesting and receiving a
full refund or donating all or part of the purchase price to the
organization;
4.	The event host must have masks on hand for individuals who do not
bring their own or whose masks are damaged or soiled;

participants, and those reporting symptoms and/or recent exposure to

at all times unless actively eating and drinking, and unless they have been
granted a reasonable accommodation based on disability by the affiliate
President or Vice Presidents; 
8.	Physical distancing is required at all events, e.g., six feet apart
unless from the same household.   For events where individuals are at round
tables, no more than six individuals may share a table.   Where tables are
rectangular, only every other seat may be occupied;  
9.	Events are limited to 75% venue capacity, but where it would be
difficult to ensure physical distancing as required by #8 above, capacity
may be limited to 50%;
10.	Those working the event, including guides, ticket takers, servers,
etc.  must wash hands frequently consistent with CDC guidance;
11.	The event host must provide hand sanitizer and/or easy, convenient,

Our Credo


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!

 


The National Federation of the Blind 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.

 


About the National Federation of the Blind of Maryland


The National Federation of the Blind of Maryland (NFBMD), an affiliate of
the National Federation of the Blind (NFB), is an organization of blind
people and their family and friends.  We believe in the full capacity of
blind people; we have the power, influence, diversity and determination to
help transform our dreams into reality.  Our members work together for a
brighter tomorrow by raising the expectations for blind people everywhere so
that blind persons can live the lives they want.


 


Who We Are


The National Federation of the Blind of Maryland is a 501c(3) nonprofit
comprised of blind people of all ages, their families and friends.  Our
strong local chapters and divisions, and well-trained leaders help newly
blind people adjust to vision loss and promote the full participation and
integration of blind people in our communities.  We bring our collective
experiences together to effect change at the state and national level.


 




 


What We Do


*	Assist blind persons to acquire the skills of independence
*	Help blind persons to develop confidence in themselves through our
many service activities
*	Teach blind persons the skills of leadership through active
participation in conventions, chapter meetings, and civic activities
*	Encourage blind seniors to continue their active and meaningful
lifestyles
*	Prepare blind students for productive tax-paying careers through
academic and training scholarships

vision loss
*	Support parents and friends of blind children with information about
the capabilities of the blind

equal access to educational programs and high-quality rehabilitation
*	Educate the public through seminars, community activities and our

LIVE THE LIFE YOU WANT


Lyrics copied from October 2015 Presidential Release

 

Chorus:  Live the life you want.  Nobody can stop you.
Shoot for the sun and break on through.
So you're blind.  You'll be fine.  We've got good news!
You can live the life you want.  Yes, we know the truth.

Grab a cane, get trained, gotta get movin’.
Make a change in the wage, that's what we're doin’.
Come with me, yeah

Chorus

You and me, NFB, let’s dream together.
NFB, you and me, lives on forever.
You will see yeah

Chorus

You can live the life you want.  You’ll know the truth.

Navigating the Holiday Inn


The Holiday Inn Baltimore Downtown Inner Harbor is located at 105 West
Fayette Street, near the southeast corner of Fayette and Liberty streets.
This used to be the Crown Plaza Downtown Inner Harbor and shares space with
the Radisson Baltimore Downtown.  The two hotels share the conference
facilities that are called the International Ballroom, Promenade, and
Fayette Room, and the Holiday Inn side of the facility houses the Carroll
Foyer and lower-level conference area.  We will only use the sleeping rooms
in the Holiday Inn Tower for our convention, but we will use all of the
conference facilities at the property.  The two hotels also share a
restaurant, bar, and other common facilities.  However, they each have their
own entrances, parking valets, check-in desks, sleeping room towers, fitness
facilities, and other amenities.  The Radisson entrance also is on Fayette
Street, about 150 feet east of the Crown Plaza entrance.  Convention
attendees should use the Holiday Inn entrance.  However, there is a hallway
that connects the Radisson and the Holiday Inn, as well as a walkway between
the hotels through the restaurant.  This description focuses on the Holiday
Inn side of the facility, as well as the shared conference space.   

 

We will provide descriptions using cardinal directions, and where possible,
also use right and left.  Imagine the Holiday Inn main level almost like an
upside-down capital T with a capital L connecting to the capital T at its
bottom left arm.  The long arm of the upside-down capital T is the south
hallway, and the crossbar of the capital T is the east-west hallway.  The
International Ballrooms and the Fayette Room are along the east (right) leg
of the upside-down capital T.  An 
L-shaped hallway hangs off the left (west) end of the upside-down capital Ts
crossbar.  The north-south leg of the capital L is used primarily to connect
the two conference areas to one another.  The east-west leg of the capital L
houses the Holiday Inn conference rooms: Carroll, Poe, and Mencken.

 

When you first enter the Holiday Inn hotel entrance, you will be facing
south.  The entrance to the Holiday Inn hotel is on Fayette Street.  There
is an automatic door that leads you into a vestibule.  Immediately on your
left (east) is the entrance to the shared restaurant, Harbor Sports Bar and
Grill.  You come across the entrance to this restaurant even before you
enter the second doors to the Holiday Inn hotel, and so it is really in the
vestibule rather than in the hotel itself.

 

If you walk into the Holiday Inn hotel main entrance and find yourself in
the vestibule, you will find the second set of doors to the hotel on your
right.  Once you enter those doors, you are facing west, and the restaurant
is behind you and Fayette Street is on your right.  The check-in desks are
on your right along the north wall.  There are two of them with a space
between them.  At the west end of this part of the lobby and across from
(south of) the second check-in desk is an unstaffed snack bar.  

 

If you orient yourself so that your back is to the first check-in desk, you
are at the top of the upside-down capital T; you enter a hallway that goes
north and south, which we will call the south hallway.  As you walk south
along the south hallway, on your left you will pass a common area containing
various desks and chairs for use by hotel guests, as well as an ATM.  On
your right is another common area with carpeting containing sofas and chairs
with charging ports in the conversation areas.  At the southern end of this
carpeted seating area is a long tall table with high stools, where you can
recharge your electronic devices.  Past this seating area on the right is
the accessible entrance to the hotel lobby bar.  If you wish to visit the
bar, look for a ramp to go up to the bar off towards your right.  If you
continue south past the lobby bar, you reach the apex of the upside-down
capital T, which is an east-west hallway.  The south hallway comes to a dead
end here.

 

If you enter the east-west hallway (the crossbar of the upside-down capital
T) by turning left (east), the elevator banks will be on your right (south)
just before you encounter carpeting.  If you turn into the elevator bank
hallway, two elevators will be on your right (on the west wall) and one to
the left (on the east wall).  These elevators will take you up to the
sleeping rooms and down to the lower-level conference facilities.  

 

If you continue east along the east-west hallway (the crossbar of the
capital T) past the elevator lobby, you come to a carpeted area followed by
a strip of tile floor that is about five feet wide, and beyond it, more
carpeting.  Once you reach the second carpeted area, you are in the
Promenade Foyer.  Registration will be in the Promenade Foyer throughout the
weekend.  On your right (south) are the International Ballrooms, which are
comprised of ballrooms A through F.  You first encounter the doors for
International Ballroom A.  The doors to Ballroom A will be used for general
session.  Ballrooms B and C are south of ballroom A and all three will be
combined together to make one big room, Ballroom ABC which will be used for
General Session, the Board Meeting, Friday afternoon tours, and the Picnic
and a Play event.  If you keep walking east along the Promenade Foyer beyond
International Ballroom A, the next ballroom you encounter is International
Ballroom F.  Past Ballroom F is another set of doors that leads into
Ballroom D.  Ballroom D has a raised fixed stage in it that we will not use.


 

Across from International Ballroom A on the north side of the Promenade
hallway are restrooms (ladies’ room on the left and men's room on the
right).  Past the restrooms, across from Ballroom F is a hallway that
branches off to the left (north) and leads to the Radisson Hotel.  We will
not use any facilities in the Radisson.  The Promenade Foyer will come to a
dead end at the east end at some steps leading up to Ballroom E and the
Fayette Room.  We will be using International Ballroom E and the Fayette
Room for childcare.  To avoid the steps leading down to the hotel business
office, from this upper level, at the top of the steps continue straight
(east) all the way to the east wall, before turning right (south) to find
the entrance to Ballroom E.  At the top of the steps continue straight
(east) all the way to the east wall, before turning left (north) to find the
entrance to the Fayette Room.  The Fayette Room has glass walls.  Directly
to the right (south) of the steps leading up to Ballroom E and the Fayette
Room is a wheelchair lift.  Your cane can easily miss this obstacle, so to
be forewarned is to be forearmed.  

 

If at the apex of the upside-down capital T, you turn right (west), another
entrance to the lobby bar is to your right and there is a set of steps that
leads up to the bar from this side.  The hallway will come to a dead end
past the bar, and you would enter the capital L hallway if you turn left
(south).  

 

Along the east arm of the capital L hallway, there is a spiral staircase
that leads to the lower floor of the hotel.  Of course, you can reach the
lower floor via the elevators as well.  Past the area where the spiral
staircase is, the L-shaped hallway continues south and comes to a dead end
at its apex, another hallway that leads left (east).  There are other arms
that branch off of the capital L, but they are not relevant to our needs,
and if you shoreline along the wall, you will reach the apex of the capital
L.  The entrance to the Carroll Room is on the left (north) side of this
short east-west hallway.  On the right (south) side of the hallway is the
Poe Room followed by the Mencken Room.  The east hallway (capital L) comes
to a dead end at a service area and you'll have to retrace your steps to get
to other parts of the hotel.  

 

There are more meeting rooms we will use in the lower lobby.  The
lower-level conference space is like a capital H with the elevator hallway
as the crossbar connecting the two legs of the capital H.  To reach the area
where we will have meetings and seminars, turn right from the set of two
elevators or left from the single elevator towards the leg of the capital H
with more meeting rooms.  Pratt A and B are along the leg of the H, and
Douglass is at one end of the leg while Peale is at the other.  If you are
facing the Pratt room, the Peale room is to your right (west) and the
Douglass room is to your left (east).  

 

For the Hopkins Room, turn left from the set of two elevators or right from
the single elevator towards the leg of the capital H where there is only one
meeting room and the spiral staircase as the major landmark.  The Hopkins
Room is along the leg of the capital H.  Restrooms are at the top of that
same leg of the capital H.  This area also holds the spiral staircase which
leads to the upper floor.  To find the steps safely, go all the way to the
west end by the entrance to the Hopkins Room and turn left (south).  

 

To find the guide dog relief area, orient yourself so the side with the two
elevators is behind you and turn left (until you meet a hallway).  Turn left
again and walk straight until you meet a set of double doors to the outside
of the hotel.

 

The hallways on the guest room floors of the Crown Plaza are quite short.
Each floor will have rooms with numbers ending with numbers 20 through 35.
The lower numbered rooms are in the Radisson tower.  Imagine each floor is
like a capital H with the elevator bank as the crossbar of the H.  If you
put the side with the two elevators behind you and go clockwise starting
with the bottom left leg of the H, you will encounter rooms ending 20 to 23
(northwest side), rooms ending 24 to 27 (northeast side), rooms ending 28 to
31 (southeast side), and rooms ending 32 to 35 (southwest side).

STRIVE 

Lyrics by Barbara Elliott

 

Sometimes people tell me blind people should be quiet and sit down
But I say "No!" I say "No!" I say "No."
They contend that I should be content to let others lead me around,
But I say "No!" I say "No!" I say "No."
Everybody needs somebody to help sometimes, but I'm in charge of me,

Chorus: I've gotta strive, strive, strive a little farther,
Reach, reach, reach a little longer,
Work, work, work a little harder,
Hope, hope, hope a little stronger.
Watch me, watch me, watch me.
Nothin's gonna stop me, stop me, stop me.
I'm spreading my wings, soaring on a dream,
I can do anything!

I gotta be brave even when I'm afraid to do hard things.
I'll tell myself "Go!" I'll just go, I will go.
I'm not a fool; I need training and tools to live out my dreams.
So I'll say "Go!" I'll just go, I will go.
I'm not a passenger in my life.  I'm gonna take control and drive.

Chorus

Pronouns: she, her, hers

 

The National Federation of the Blind of Maryland 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.
