This is an event where several stories are told by individuals from all walks of life. It was held at the Atwood Concert Hall, and it was close to a sell-out event. As I listened to five amazing stories about events in people’s lives, I realized that this might be a beautiful way to spend some time with all of you. Following the Moth style, we will include a theme to help give us focus. So, come and share a story about your blindness or low vision. The topic is wide open from how you lost your vision, a childhood story about an experience, or how you have learned to live the life you want, or not! This a wonderful way for all of us to get to know one another better. Our meetings are inclusive, and all are welcome including those with multiple disabilities. We also welcome sighted friends and family members who are interested in hearing stories and perhaps sharing some of their own! You do not have to be a member of the NFB. Please share this note far and wide so many may come to share, and all learn from the experiences of others. <o:p></o:p></p><p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p><p class="MsoNormal">To join do the following <o:p></o:p></p><p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p><p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p><p class="MsoNormal">All State NFB Monthly Meeting<o:p></o:p></p><p class="MsoNormal">Time: 1:00 PM<o:p></o:p></p><p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p><p class="MsoNormal">Join Zoom Meeting<o:p></o:p></p><p class="MsoNormal"><a href="https://us02web.zoom.us/j/84458365010?pwd=MDFoTmJOMERTQ09RSnNKb0RHYkk5dz09">https://us02web.zoom.us/j/84458365010?pwd=MDFoTmJOMERTQ09RSnNKb0RHYkk5dz09</a><o:p></o:p></p><p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p><p class="MsoNormal">Meeting ID: 844 5836 5010<o:p></o:p></p><p class="MsoNormal">Passcode: 196504<o:p></o:p></p><p class="MsoNormal">One tap mobile<o:p></o:p></p><p class="MsoNormal">+16699006833,,84458365010#<o:p></o:p></p><p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p><p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p><p class="MsoNormal">If you would like the phone number sent to you in a text message so you can add it to your contacts, please call or email Bonnie Lucas.
