We are planning to put together another Walk with the Blind, similar to what we did last year during Blind Equality and Achievement Month. Instead of conducting this the second week of October, we plan to move this event to the third week, which happens to be October 15, White Cane Awareness Day. Last year, we had participation from the following chapters; Tidewater, Peninsula, Greater Williamsburg, Greater Alexanderia, and Potomac Chapters. The Chesapeake Bay Chapter did a separate event. Here is what each chapter can do for this event:<o:p></o:p></p><ul style='margin-top:0in' type=disc><li class=MsoListParagraph style='margin-left:7.45pt;mso-list:l0 level1 lfo3'>Find a place to meet on Saturday, October 15, 2022. <o:p></o:p></li><li class=MsoListParagraph style='margin-left:7.45pt;mso-list:l0 level1 lfo3'>Have your members gather around 9:30 in the morning<o:p></o:p></li><li class=MsoListParagraph style='margin-left:7.45pt;mso-list:l0 level1 lfo3'>Plan a route to walk.

Each location would either have a local dignitary read their City’s proclamation, and then we will walk around in our own communities.

Your chapter could have the same results. After talking with your chapter members, please let me know what you think. Please reach out to me or any of the other committee members.
