[NFBO-Linn-benton] FW: Disability Equity Center updates and events

[kjocums at icloud.com]

Hi again,

 

Two additional topics for our agenda:

1.	Do we need a new meeting time so Andrea can stay the whole time?
2.	Allison Hobgood  with the Disability Equity Center just shared our flyers with her group.  She reminded me that, pre-pandamic, she was going to visit our Chapter.  Let’s talk about the format for that for our next meeting.  Below is some info from DEC.

Let me know if you have any additional agenda items
