Hey NFB Family and Friends,

 

I  hope everyone has enjoyed their week. Please join us this week for more
phenomenal programing on our Affiliate Zoom.

 

Spotlight On.

 

Braille Buddies is bouncing back to Tuesdays thanks to the generosity of
Chancey Fleet and the New York Public Library for use of their Zoom channel.

 

We will meet at the same old 7 PM Eastern (6 PM Central 5 PM Mountain, 4 PM
Pacific and 2 PM Hawaii) time every Tuesday night starting February 15.

 

Meet new friends from around the globe, bring a buddy along who wants to
learn more about braille, bring a buddy along that wants to share some tips
on what helped them early in their braille literacy journey, and, most of
all, come along to have a fun evening.

 

This meeting is open to anyone from anywhere that has even the slightest
interest in or curiosity about braille.

Hello my fellow Federationists!

 

I am so excited to tell you about two awesome events the Greater Alexandria
Chapter has going on in this beautiful month of February!  Hang with me here
'cause you'll want to get it all!

 

First, let me tell you about the PUPPY LOVE FUNDS!

Bottom line, we need funds!  So...we want to offer some PUPPY LOVE!  

What is she talking about, you ask?

 

For $15.00, you can purchase a one of a kind Valentine's Day Big Milk
Chocolate Puppy Lollipop!  But it is not just any old run of the mill puppy
lollipop! No!  This is the cutest darn baby bulldog you have ever seen, with
eyes wide and happy and a red puppy tongue licking its chops!  Baby Bulldog
is sporting a big red heart on his full belly that reads, "TOP DAWG"!  You
can order this little guy for your Honey, your favorite kid, your mom, and
you can get an extra one just for you!

 

**THE DEADLINE FOR ALL ORDERS IS SUNDAY, FEBRUARY 20th!

 

To make someone (or someonesss) very happy, while offering your support to
the awesome Greater Alexandria Chapter, please send your $15.00 payment (or
more, for more lollipops!) via PayPal to:  NFBVGAC1 at GMAIL.COM
<mailto:NFBVGAC1 at GMAIL.COM>   You must have a PayPal account to pay via
PayPal.  In the notes section, please type PUPPY LOVE FUND and be sure to
include the address of the person you want to receive your Lolli[op gift.

 

If you want to purchase a lollipop or two or three, and do not have a PayPal
account, please contact me at reneerome at yahoo.com
<mailto:reneerome at yahoo.com>  or 703-966-0836, and we can discuss other
options.

 

**HEY!  YOU STILL WITH ME?  GO GET A DRINK BUT KEEP READING!  HERE COMES
MORE FUN STUFF!

 

On Thursday, February 24th, promptly at 7:00 p.m., the Greater Alexandria
Chapter will be hosting another knock-out of an event on Zoom!  Come and
join the gang for a special evening we are dubbing "CELEBRATING CULTURAL
ICONS AND INFLUENCES!" 

 

That's right! We have a couple of very special guests to help us celebrate
some important ICONS, past and present, and maybe INFLUENCE us to do some
moving and shaking of our own!

 

Then...we will honor the heart of February and love and culture with some
powerful and inspiring and entertaining stories and poems and more, shared
by some of our very own Federationists!

 

We ask you to honor our love theme by dressing up a little in black and
white with a splash of red!  (Or some wonderful outfit of your own style!)

 

Please arrive a few minutes early so we can get started with all the
festivities at 7:00 p.m. sharp.  And it would be so wonderful if you kept
your camera on so we can all see each other!

 

Here is the Zoom link for this love-filled evening:
