<h2>Meeting Purpose:</h2>
<p>During our November meeting, we will once again have the option
to order lunch, eat and mingle ahead of our major business items.
While lunch is served and people are settling in, we will begin
playing this month's <a href="https://nfb.org/sites/nfb.org/files/08-2024/presidential_release_november_2024_chapter_version.mp3" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer">Presidential
Release</a>, where President Riccobono shares important news and
other things concerning the NFB at the national level. So come and
get prepared to listen to what's going on in our nationwide Blind
advocacy movement. <br>
</p>
<p><br>
</p>
<p>We will have two members of our chapter, Kristin and Collin, who
attended the nationwide <a href="https://www.youtube.com/shorts/5OJvGmCS98I" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer">NFB Uber and
Lyft Rally</a> over in San Francisco. They will have updates to
share about that, plus their experiences, and their excitement
relived. For those who are unaware of this rally, NFB has
protested the constant denials of Uber and Lyft rides taken by
blind and low vision people, especially if they are guide dog
owners. <br>
</p>
<p><br>
</p>
<p>We will be discussing our upcoming elections. No, not the
political ones that would have already had happened by then.
FWEIEW! We are talking about electing officers on our chapter
board for next cycle, which begins next year. So get your
questions answered. If you are a dues-paying member and would like
to serve on the chapter board of the NFBW Seattle Chapter, don't
be shy and consider running! <br>
</p>
<p><br>
</p>
<p>There will be some discussion and calls for input concerning our
upcoming NFBW Seattle chapter Holiday Party, happening on December
14, 2024. Yes, this event is now around the corner - next month.
So save the date!</p>
<p><br>
</p>
<p>After our over all meeting and business items have concluded we
will have representatives from Sound Transit in the room with us,
running a study about tactile symbols they are testing out to help
blind people recognize patters with their canes when they are out
and about navigating their transit system, such as the Link Light
Rail. Our chapter meeting shouldn't last more than an hour, or an
hour and a half, then after we are done, expect to interact with
Sound Transit folks for another hour or so. they will be seeking
out individual participants, and there will be compensation
incentives! So please stay tuned. <br>
</p>
<p><br>
</p>
<p>This and much more! <br>
</p>
<p>So, will we see you on Saturday November 9? Hopefully yes! Let's
connect, come for the food, stay for the meeting, make friends,
and let's go build the National Federation of the Blind!!!! 🦯🦯</p>
