[nfbwatlk] National Federation of the Blind Spring 2013 Seminar

[Mike Freeman]

Greetings, everyone.

 

On May 18, 2013 from 9:00 a.m. until 4:30 p.m., the NFB of Washington will
hold a membership seminar in Seattle, Washington, at the City University
building at 521 Wall Street where the Seattle chapter holds its monthly
meetings. Lunch will consist of take-out pizza; each person participating in
the seminar should bring $5.00. The affiliate will cover the remainder of
the cost.

 

This is a good old-fashioned membership seminar in which NFB philosophy,
strategies for legislative advocacy, activities people would like to see the
affiliate undertake between now and the fall convention, ideas for fall
convention topics and other convention activities will be discussed. There
will be a Q&A period for those new to the Federation to get their questions
about the Federation answered. There will also be a NFB of Washington Board
of Directors meeting. We will not have a national representative; this will
be totally home-grown.

 

More information about the seminar including driving and public transit
directions will be forthcoming shortly. I urge everyone to make plans to
attend and participate. This will be a great time to get to know new members
and for grizzled veterans of the Movement to become reacquainted. For more
information, call me at (360) 241-5273 or Marci Carpenter at (206) 933-7971.

 

Mike Freeman, President

NFB of Washington
