[NFBSATX] chapter meeting

[Heather]

Hello, there was some discussion that the chapter might get together after the meeting and go out for lunch!  So I looked at places near the chapter meeting location: Ding how  Chinese restaurant4531 NW  loop 410, They give you a lot of food as I have eaten their before! 
Denny’s 4510 Fredericksbrg rd., it has been some time that I have been there but, if memory surves me, they do have a braille minue. 

La Fogata 2427 Vance  Jackson Rd.  It sounded good from their website.  
india palace 8474 Fredericksburg Rd. 
I know there are lots more but, these were some examples from my around me app off my phone. I am sure that more options but they just did not show them.
It was nice seeing folks today at the lo vision fare! Cheers Heather
