[Nfbv-announce] Join the Run/Walk for Braille Literacy on June 3 in Baltimore

[Tracy Soforenko]

Join the NFB of Virginia team  for Braille Literacy

 

Join Federationists and friends from across the Mid Atlantic for a fun 6K
Run / Walk at the NFB Six Dot Dash in Baltimore. 

While some of us will be running, many including myself will probably walk.

On Sunday, June 3, the National Federation of the Blind Six Dot Dash will
begin at 8:00 AM on the streets of Federal Hill in Baltimore.

We have established an NFB of Virginia team (called Virginia Federationists)
and you could join us to help us field the largest team at this year's
event. There will be members from Maryland, New Jersey, Virginia and
hopefully other affiliates across the Mid Atlantic.

 

Some of us will be going up Saturday evening, June 2 and staying at the NFB
National Center. If you are interested in joining the NFB of Virginia team,
please email me by Sunday, May 20. This is especially important for those
hoping to stay at the NFB National Center. President Riccobono has
generously offered to let us stay at the national Center but there will be
no food provided by the center and we will need to provide a set of
individuals who will be staying shortly after May 20.

Please know that you are responsible for the $39 online pre-registration
fee ($40 on race day) and costs for transportation and a Saturday evening
meal at a restaurant in Baltimore. There will not be a cost for our stay at
the NFB National Center's conference center. We will bring up a simple
breakfast of bagels and orange juice for Sunday morning.

I found the Event Bright web site to be frustrating  with a screen reader
but I eventually muddled through it. Our team is called Virginia
Federationists.

 

I hope you can join us for this fun morning with Federationists and friends
from across the Mid Atlantic.
