[NFBSF] Friendsgiving — Join Us Nov. 22! RSVP by Nov. 14

[Laura Millar]

Dear NFBSF Chapter Members,

We’re delighted to invite you to a special Friendsgiving celebration filled
with warmth, community spirit, and gratitude. The National Federation of
the Blind San Francisco chapter, the California Council of the Blind, and
the East Bay Center for the Blind are joining together to host an afternoon
of good food, connection, and shared joy.

Friendsgiving is an opportunity to celebrate the relationships and
community that sustain us throughout the year. Whether you’re reconnecting
with familiar faces or meeting new members of our Blind and Disabled
community, we look forward to gathering in fellowship and appreciation for
one another. We also hope this gathering inspires future collaborative
events and traditions.

Please RSVP by Friday, November 14:
