[Nfbv-announce] Location of Blind Parents Seminar and NfBV Board meetings

[Michael Kasey]

The VDBVI Library and Resource Center conference room will not be available
on Monday, January 20 as previously announced.  We will meet in the building
next door instead.  Therefore, the blind parents seminar and the NFBV Board
meeting will need to take place in the Assembly Room at VRCBVI which is
located at 401 Azalea Avenue, Richmond, VA 23227.  We will put a sign on the
LRC door to let people know of the change.
