Dear Fellow VABS MEMBERS, Parents, and All Other Interested Federationists:

 

As is already known, The Virginia Association Of Blind Students will be hosting "Bowl with the Blind" on Saturday, October 7, 2017. We would love for everybody to come out for a day full of fun, networking, Community engagement/awareness raising, and relaxation by the beach side; Thus, we have arranged for a phenomenal transportation option from Northern Virginia, to Virginia Beach, that day.
Why is this such a great transportation option? This will be a door to door service, where you will be picked up from your location of residence, and taken to the location of the event. Furthermore, this is the most practical, cheapest transportation option from Northern Virginia. We have done thorough research, and ensure that this option will be the most economically efficient, and time efficient. Amtrak will charge $88, at its minimum, (At its lowest price), for a round-trip ticket from The Alexandria, Virginia Train Station, To Newport News, Virginia, then one will need to catch a connector bus to The Norfolk Virginia Beach Area. On top of that, one will have to factor in the price of an Uber or a cab to get to the location of the event. Furthermore, there will be no returning trains, at a  proper time, to the Northern Virginia Area that day. Thus, one will also need to factor in the cost of boarding for that night. With Greyhound, the price for this option is only slightly reduced ($72.). Again, the same applies for Greyhound, there are no buses returning to The Northern Virginia Area at a suitable time.
Now, let us get to our transportation option:
As I said before, this is door-to-door service. We are charging $60 per seat, which is already a significantly reduced price. On top of that, if anybody desires to make a pitstop along the way, that is an available option, as we have secured a flexible and willing driver: Trust me, I know him personally, for he is my father (Muawia Abu-El Hawa.). :) :) :) 
For those who desire to take advantage of this most convenient option, please feel free to reach out to me by phone: (202) 848-8932 or via email at:

Email Address: nmabuelhawa at gmail.com <mailto:nmabuelhawa at gmail.com> 


If anybody has any comments, questions, or concerns, they wish to express privately, feel free to give me a call. I will need all payments no later than Friday, September 29. Again, to ensure clarity, I need the payment of $60 per seat no later than Friday, September 29. This is also a great opportunity to travel and network with other blind individuals from the local area. You know, we can all make new friends on a four hour car ride. Besides, we will be riding in a comfortable van, which always sounds better than spending hours on the train or the bus. This option is a guaranteed door to door service.  A door to door service, it does not get better than that! 
We will depart from Dunn Loring, Virginia, At 7:00 A.M. Remember, we will be picking everybody up from their location of residence. So once one's seat is purchased, we will need his or her address information. 
Space is limited, so please take advantage of this offer as soon as possible… Again, I must hear from interested parties, and receive payment, no later than Friday, September 29. I hope you all take advantage of this most convenient, wonderful, economical, time efficient offer. Thank you much! We definitely look forward to seeing everybody there. Remember: October 7, 2017, is the date of the "Bowl with the Blind" event, For Meet The Blind Month. Thank you, all! Also, Thank You President Parsons For All Of Your Efforts In Making This Event Happen/Become A Reality.

Many Thanks And Much Respect.

Sincerely,
