> Dear Colleagues:
> 
> On this last day of November, I have the following matters to bring to your
> attention. First, please take a moment to call your House member this week
> and ask her or him to cosponsor the Accessible Instructional Materials in
> Higher Education (AIM HE) Act., H.R. 6122. AIM HE was introduced by
> Republican Phil Roe of Tennessee, and the lead cosponsor is Democrat Joe
> Courtney of Connecticut. You can reach the Capitol Switchboard at (202)
> 224-3121. From there, simply request to be connected with your Congressman.
> In addition to Tennessee and Connecticut, I want to thank our California and
> New York affiliates for securing cosponsors on AIM HE so far.
> 
> While on the phone, please also mention the TIME Act, H.R. 188. Below this
> message, I am listing the names of each House member and their state as
> acknowledgement to those affiliates which have secured cosponsors on the
> TIME Act during the 114th Congress. There are seventy-eight of them to date.
> Please thank your representative if she or he has cosponsored the TIME Act,
> or urge them to do so in addition to cosponsoring AIM HE. Your calls are
> important because it is crucial that we stay in contact with our legislators
> on a regular basis, moreover, while the 114th Congress is about to come to
> an end, gaining these cosponsors will help us get off to a quicker start in
> the next Congress.
> 
> Additional details about the Marrakesh Treaty and Space Available are
> forthcoming very soon, but suffice it to say that we are working on these
> items every day within the relevant House and Senate committees. Thus, we do
> not need phone calls on Marrakesh and Space Available at this time. I have
> one other item to discuss with you. Next week, we will be sending you
> template letters about requesting appointments with members of Congress for
> the Washington Seminar. Please be on the lookout for those items and related
> materials.
> 
> Exactly two months from today, we will be participating in the Great
> Gathering-in at the 2017 Washington Seminar. As President Riccobono observed
> in this week's President's Notebook, the Holiday Inn Capitol is accepting
> reservations now. Before December 28, please call (877) 572-6951, or go to
> https://nfb.org/washington-seminar where you can access the Holiday Inn
> Capitol page and make your reservations using booking code F7B. The rates
> are $188 for a room accommodating up to four persons, and the applicable tax
> is 14.5 percent. 
> 
> As you can see, we have much to do in the next sixty days or so.  In the
> meantime, if you celebrate the Holiday Season, I hope it is a good one for
> you and your loved ones, my Federation family.

> Warmly,
