[Jacki Bruce]

Hello NFB Family and Friends,



Please be sure to register to vote!  Our NFB State Convention is coming up,
the theme for this year is Federation GRIT:  Goals Resilience Innovation
Together!   The agenda will be coming out soon.  Registration is free.
  Here is how to register:  http://nfbv.org/registration.   When 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.  Yes, it
is virtual.  This is an easy way to spread the word of the NFB, TELL ALL
YOUR FRIENDS AND HELP THEM REGISTER!



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.
