[NFBV-Announce] Spotlight! Zoom this week

Mon Dec 14 14:38:01 UTC 2020

Greetings everyone, first of all I want to apologize to Jackie for not letting her know about the Tidewater Chapter meeting. The Tidewater chapter WILL NOT be meeting on December 19. At our last meeting, we voted to schedule our next meeting for Saturday, January 9 at 1:30 PM. Details of the meeting to follow in a separate email. I apologize for any confusion this may have caused.  I want to take this opportunity to wish everyone a happy holiday season and a happy new year.

Stewart Prost, President, Tidewater Chapter, NFB of Virginia

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.

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.
