[Nfbv-announce] On-Line Quiz on Blindness

[Joe Hobson]

At our recent quarterly meeting of Virginia Affiliate Board of Directors , 
held on Sunday, January 27th, 2013, in conjunction with our NFBV 2013 
Richmond Seminar and visits with the Virginia General Assembly, NFBV 
President Fred Schroeder requested that Virginia affiliate be represented 
atthe  the "Cash and Carry" meeting, held in conjunction with the currently 
in progress NFB 2013 Washington Seminar .
That additional meeting, a new initiative to develop and implement new 
funding means and innovative state affiliate and national organization 
interaction, was held on Monday afternoon, February  4th, from noon until 
three o'clock, prior to the Great Gathering In at the Washington Seminar.
The below should be self explanatory.
many of you will have already received this information   from other sources 
on  the blindness quiz, and how your participation, and that of others, will 
help to benefit and continue to build the NFb national programming and 
organization.

However, even if this is a duplication to you, please pardon, as we were 
charged at the meeting to try to promote as widely as possible, thus 
distribution to Virginia-Announce.

Please see below details if you wish to participate.
Thank you.
