[Jacki Bruce]

Hello NFB Family and Friends,



I hope everyone is enjoying the fall weather and staying safe.  Please
don’t forget to register for our State Convention.  If you register by
October 18th you will be put in a drawing for a $100 gift card, you’ll be
able to vote, and you will be eligible for door prizes.  Here is how to
register:  http://nfbv.org/registration

.   Yes, it is virtual.  This is an easy way to spread the word of the
NFB, *TELL
EVERYONE*!!





This message outlines many events and meetings planned for the month.



Almost all chapter and division meetings are using the Virginia Affiliate’s
Zoom account and all meetings are open to the public.


All calls are available using the telephone dial in option or through the
free and totally accessible Zoom app on Windows, Apple IOS, or Google
Android. You can also access just using your Web Browser.



Click on the zoom link to be automatically entered into the meeting.

The one tap mobile does have a bit of a delay, approximately 20 seconds
from start to you being put into the meeting. You do not have to enter,
push or do anything except be patient and wait.

When using a landline or older cell phone, you do have to type in the
meeting ID, which is provided.

It’s that simple, no stressing.


For all these services, it is important to be on mute when you are not
speaking.  The presenter will provide specific instructions at the
beginning of the meeting, but in general, star 6 mutes and unmutes from a
phone, ALT + A (like Alpha) mutes and unmutes on a computer and smartphones
and tablets have a mute button on the meeting control toolbar.



Additionally, just like in-person Federation meetings, please preface your
comments by stating your name and being recognized by the organizer before
speaking.

Virginia Affiliate Virtual Programming





*Ladies Night*

*Saturday, September  26 at 7:00 PM*



Please join the Virginia Affiliate every Saturday evening from 7 to 9 pm
Eastern Time for good times. Each week will be a different theme.  Grab
your BFF’s and a drink alcoholic or non, settle in your favorite spot and
get ready to laugh, share stories, and have fun!



The theme for this week, September 26th, is Game Night!  We will play Would
You Rather, as well as other fun and thought provoking team games.  If you
have ideas for games to share, please bring them.





Chapter and Division Virtual Programming

Here is the calendar of chapter and division meetings that have been
scheduled.
More may follow as the month progresses.

However, the At Large and Peninsula chapters are not using Zoom and have
provided alternate dialing instructions which are listed after the meeting
date and time.





*Senior Division*

*Wednesday, September 23 at 7:00 PM*



*Greater Alexandria Chapter*

*Thursday, September 24 at 7:00 PM*



At the Greater Alexandria Chapter meeting this week, Harrison Hoyes,
certified financial planner and account Vice President at UBS Financial
Services will be discussing the best place to save  your money.  There are
many different account options that can be confusing such as 1, what type
of account can I use to save for retirement.  2, What is the best
investment for your savings? And 3, A good way to save for a child's
college education.  We will try to have a high level understanding of the
benefits of those choices by the end of our discussion.



*Chesapeake Bay Chapter*

*Saturday, September 26 at 11:00 AM*



*Tidewater Chapter*

*Saturday, September 26 at 1:30 PM*



*Richmond Chapter*

*Monday, September 28 at 6:30 PM*


We suspect more chapters and divisions will be holding meetings. We will
provide updates each week with details.



Peace,
