Here is Jeremy’s original message…

 

Hi NFBV Greater Alexandria Chapter Members,

A quick reach out to those who attended last night’s meeting and those who weren’t able to attend. Please RSVP by August 5 with a yesif you plan to attend.

 

I have pasted the latest draft agenda below for our upcoming strategic planning retreat, which will help lay-out our chapter strategy for the coming years.

It will take place on Sunday, August 26, from 1PM to 5PM and is probably going to be at the same spot as our chapter meetings (1-2 blocks away from Eisonhower Metro station on the yellow lines)

All members are welcome, but we need to be prepared to host you.

Therefore, I need anyone who plans to attend, even if you are a maybe, to let us know by August 5.

Please respond by August 5 to me directly at jwg at sgendeavors.com <mailto:jwg at sgendeavors.com>  with either a yes or maybe, so we get you counted.

This is your opportunity to directly collaborate with the board and other members on our chapter’s direction.

Thanks, and again, the draft agenda is below:
