Hi Regina,

The cooking with the at large chapter occurs on the first Wednesday of each month at 6:30 pm.

The next one will be on May 5, 2021

 

This is on our Federation zoom meeting platform we use for most events.

Hello NFC of SC 

 

I am interested in something you Oates and was unclear of whom the date whether it’s an upcoming, monthly scheduled. Or have already occurred? 

 

“Cooking With the At Large Chapter 6:30 PM”

 

Can you tell me more about this. 

 

Thank you kindly, 

Regina Mitchell

Free White Cane Program 
The National Federation of the Blind has distributed more than 64,000 free
white canes since 2008.
The white cane gives blind people the ability to achieve a full and
independent life, allowing us to travel freely and safely. We started our
free white cane program because we believe that no blind person should be
without a white cane, regardless of his or her ability to pay for it.
You can request a Free White Cane at the below link.
Apply for a Free White Cane!
