[NFBV-Alexandria] FW: Jeremy to speak on Sunday in Old Town at World Day of Remembrance for Traffic Crash Victims

[Jeremy Grandstaff]

Folks,

This is an event that it would be nice to have chapter turn out for. Loss
of life for pedestrians should be something that as blind people we want to
stand up for. I hope some of you can come and march with us.
