Though we have been enjoying the Caroline Kennedy library for a gathering place it will not be possible to meet there this month. They will be too busy painting pumpkins to fit us into a room. Therefore we will be meeting in Allegria Village at 10101 Ford Road in the basement classroom. Enter the Great Lakes Clubhouse and you will be directed to the elevator and beyond.<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>Please join us from noon to 3p m as we have lots of business to do. From state convention to legislative letters we need to accomplish lots during this BEAM month, Blind Education Awareness Month. Don’t forget about our fundraising with donating an item to our lively auction. Speaking of fundraisers, we have great news regarding our flower sales.<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>Don’t forget to register for the NFBMI state convention and we will see you Saturday, October 4 in Allegria Village.<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>Thanks and blessings,<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>Donna Posont<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>President: New Wayne County Chapter<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>National Federation of the Blind of Michigan<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>313-220-8140<o:p></o:p></p></div></body></html>
