Subject: [Chapter-Presidents] NFB Open House conference calls
Greetings colleagues, ,

The Membership Committee needs your help! This coming Sunday , August 18th,
we will begin hosting the Open House calls that President Riccobono spoke
about at our national convention this year. We need your help to get the
word out to those who may be interested in becoming a member but would like
to know more about the National Federation of the Blind. You can help by
making sure that your chapters are putting information out to your social
media outlets. To better help you to do so the Communications team has put
together a tool kit for you with templates that you can use on social media.
I have attached and copied the tool kit to this message.

Your help is appreciated. Let's go build the National Federation of the
Blind!

Yours in the Federation,

Jeannie
