I would love to share the picnic details with families of the blind students that I serve. School gets out for the summer on June 20th in Mt. Vernon and June 24th in Seattle. Is the picnic an event that I might invite families to? If so, could we get the information prior to the end of school. 

Best,
Michael Dickneite, TBS/O&M

He everyone, 

  

Well, we had another great chapter meeting in May. We will be participating in Dining In The Dark fundraisers this Friday and Saturday, June 8th and 9th. These dinners are being coordinated by A Federation member and will incorporate positive attitudes about blindness. They will take place at the Fremont Baptist Church at 7:30 p.m. each evening. Federation members will sit at the tables with the sighted diners. 

  

We finalized plans for our chapter picnic. Noel Nightingale and Jim Peterson will host the chapter picnic at their lovely home. The picnic will be held on Saturday, July 28th at 4 p.m. The chapter will provide hamburgers and hot dogs. Those attending are asked to bring a side dish or dessert. Address and transportation details will be included in the June meeting summary. Everyone is welcome to attend. The picnic is always a lot of fun! 

  

Our iPad 3 raffle tickets will be available at the June meeting. Tickets will be $5 each. The raffle drawing will occur during the NFBW State Convention in Everett in October. 

  

We passed a motion officially supporting our participation in the 2012 Shop  For A Cause at Macy's at the end of August. James Janney has secured a good location on the first floor for our table. For a suggested donation on $5 shoppers will receive a coupon for a discount on their Macy's purchases. 

  

A new member, Cindy Bennett, joined the chapter. Cindy is a recent graduate of BLIND, Inc. and has recently moved to Seattle. 

  

Our June meeting will be held on Saturday, June 16th at 10:30 a.m. at the Downtown Seattle Public Library, 1000 4th Avenue; 4th floor, room 2. Please join us there! 

  

Marci Carpenter
