[NFBV-Announce] Spotlight! Zoom this week

[jackibruce6 at gmail.com]

Hey NFB Family and Friends,

 

I  hope everyone had a  great week and had an opportunity to check out some
of last week's Spotlight items!  Thank you to everyone who shared what their
chapters were up to. Read on for the goings on  this week and join in.

 

SPOTLIGHT ON.

 

Please note: The Chesapeake Bay Chapter will not be meeting in person this
month due to Covid restrictions.  See below for their meeting details.

 

Winchester Chapter would like to invite all of you to our holiday Chapter
gathering, see below for details.

This is a time to come together during the season to share the holiday
cheer. Everybody is welcome to join us. We will be doing a virtual cookie
exchange, Bring your hot beverages and sit by the fireplace.

Santa and Rudolph along with the other reindeer will be virtually stopping
by and picking you all up. Be sure to zoom on in!

 

Washington Seminar will be held February 8-11. The Great Gathering In will
be on the 8th at 5 PM, and will be virtual. Congressional appointments will
be scheduled February 9-11 and will also be virtual. We will have a bit more
flexibility for appointments, since we'll be able to schedule them over all
three days. There will be trainings provided as usual before appointments to
inform you of the issues we'll be presenting on, but they will just be
virtual trainings. Info about the trainings and the issues are forthcoming.

 

I will be scheduling most of our zoom appointments with our representatives.
But we will need some info from you to determine which appointments and
teams you'll be a part of. Congressional members still want to ensure they
are scheduling appointments with their constituents, so it will be important
that you are present at the appointment with your representative.

 

If you could please email the following info to Arielle Silverman this month
so that we can begin scheduling these appointments and creating the teams:

 

Your name, what days you will be able to attend Washington Seminar (9th,
10th, 11th, or all three days) and what times you'll be available on each of
those days between 8 AM and 6 PM, your address, and a phone number and email
address where you can be quickly reached. You can email Arielle at
arielle at disabilitywisdom.com <mailto:arielle at disabilitywisdom.com> .

 

For any questions, you can email me at deepa.goraya at gmail.com
<mailto:deepa.goraya at gmail.com> .

 

Thank you.
