[NFBV-At-Large] Reminder of tonight's meeting

[Patrick Johnson]

Greetings once again,



Mid August and downtown is crowded with college students playing human
frogger as they transverse city streets.  If I listen closely I can almost
hear the high school and college marching bands practicing their fight
songs and the muted grumbles of students  returning to class after a Summer
of sleeping in, camps, and hanging out at the pool.  It also means it is
time for the return of At Large chapter Zoom meetings.  Join me as we ready
for state convention in a few months and the start of the holiday season
shortly there after.  If we have time we may discuss one or both of the
following.



"For centuries, society has defined blind people as one-dimensional,"
President Riccobono said in his banquet speech at #NFB26. "One synonymous
with incompetence, incapacity, and dependence on others. Even our creative
talents have been reduced to some divine gift meant to compensate for our
overwhelming deficiencies. But blind people, we know this is not the
truth." Listen to President Riccobono's full 2026 banquet speech:
