[nfbwatlk] next Greater Seattle Chapter meeting

[M J]

Hi Everyone,

Come and join us for our next NFB chapter meeting and help us improve the lives of blind people in our area.

We will be working on the promotion of the upcoming special transportation election to be held on April 22nd. At our last meeting we voted to endorse the campaign. We want to make sure that all eligible voters are registered and can cast their ballots. Brochures will be available for members to take with them. We want to spread the word and encourage all King County residents to vote for Proposition 1, which seeks a 1/10th of a penny sales tax increase and a $60 car tab fee to prevent Metro cuts from gutting our transit service and provides money for street/sidewalk improvements in the county.  The measure has a provision for a $20 rebate for low income vehicle owners one the car tab fee, and replaces the current $20 fee that was added 2 years ago. For those living outside of King County please encourage all of your King Co. acquaintances to vote for this measure so that blind people can continue to live full lives.

We will also be playing the latest Presidential Release and discussing our national convention, legislation and other important national programs.

Once again we will be hosting the NFB of Washington Spring Seminar on May 17th at CityU. 

We have some exciting fundraisers coming up, and will be planning for them.

Lunch after the meeting will be at Petra Mediterranean Bistro, 2501 4th Avenue (NW corner of $th & Wall) Check out their menu at

Come and join us for fun and camaraderie!
