You can also access just using your Web Browser. Personally, I think the call quality is better through the app, but it is something new and some will prefer the phone option.<o:p></o:p></p><p class="MsoNormal">The Zoom link and telephone conference call details are consistent for each of the Zoom meetings this month.<o:p></o:p></p><p><a href="https://zoom.us/j/8297256345">https://zoom.us/j/8297256345</a><o:p></o:p></p><p><o:p> </o:p></p><p class="MsoNormal">Telephone Dial: 6468769923<o:p></o:p></p><p>Meeting ID: 829 725 6345<o:p></o:p></p><p><o:p> </o:p></p><p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p><p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p><p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p><p class="MsoNormal">Greater Alexandria Chapter Meeting featuring a representative from the Social Security Administration <o:p></o:p></p><p class="MsoNormal">Thursday, April 30 at 7:00 PM<o:p></o:p></p><p class="MsoNormal">Dial-in Instructions: 1-480-297-0773<o:p></o:p></p><p class="MsoNormal">Access code: 9785502<o:p></o:p></p><p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p><p class="MsoNormal"><b><span style="font-family:"Arial",sans-serif">David Melton, Public Affairs Specialist with the Social Security Administration, will join us during our virtual meeting to talk about Social Security and Coronavirus (COVID-19).

The presenter will provide instructions on unmuting to be heard. Additionally, just like in-person Federation meetings, please preface your comments by stating your name and being recognized by the organizer before speaking.<o:p></o:p></p><p class="MsoNormal">Please note: Since so many people are using conference services across the entire American population, it is smart to connect a few minutes in advance. If you connect at 7:00 PM, the connection may be busy as so many people are connecting right on the hour. You may wish to try a few minutes early (or late) so you can get in.<o:p></o:p></p><p class="MsoNormal">Tracy Soforenko<o:p></o:p></p><p class="MsoNormal">President, National Federation of the Blind of Virginia<o:p></o:p></p><p class="MsoNormal">202 285-4595<o:p></o:p></p><p class="MsoNormal"><a href="mailto:Tracy.soforenko@gmail.com">Tracy.soforenko@gmail.com</a><o:p></o:p></p><p class="MsoNormal"><a href="http://www.nfb.org">www.nfb.org</a><o:p></o:p></p><p class="MsoNormal"><a href="http://www.nfbv.org">www.nfbv.org</a><o:p></o:p></p><p class="MsoNormal">National Federation of the Blind.
