Sorry I can't be in several places at the same time. I will be in contact with my state rep today and express the importance of this bill. Good luck tomorrow.

I think this would be a great opportunity for us to go to Olympia, hear the vote and meet with our state Senators and Reps. Self advocates from the Arc of King County and others will be going to Olympia that day. They have some space on their free shuttle. Right now there are about 8-9 spots. The shuttle will leave from the Arc of King County, 233 6th Ave N (SW corner of 6th&Thomas), at 8:30 am. That’s when it will pull out so we are supposed to be there by 8:15 am. We will arrive back in Seattle between 3:45 pm and 4:15 pm. Space is available on a first come, first serve basis. If you would like to go call or text me at 206-604-5507 or email at mjc59 at comcast.net . The NFB of Washington can reimburse or pay for train tickets for those from other areas. If you need to have your train ticket purchased in advance you must contact Corey Grandstaff at corey.grandstaff at gmail.com by the end of the day today, March 4. You also need to contact me so I can approve the expense. Things look pretty positive for the bill’s passage in the House but it is important for legislators to hear from us. The Senate bill, SB 5753, is still stuck in committee. We may still be able to move it forward but, if not and if the House passes 1706, that bill will go to the Senate. If you want to make appointments with your Senators you should do so first thing Monday morning. The House will be on the floor (taking votes on bills) all day on Wednesday. The Community Employment Alliance, an advocacy group of people with Intellectual disabilities, will be holding an Advocacy Day all day and will have a rally in the Capitol rotunda from 12 pm-1 pm which we can attend. Marci Carpenter, President NFB of Washington _______________________________________________ NFBWATLK mailing list NFBWATLK at nfbnet.org http://nfbnet.org/mailman/listinfo/nfbwatlk_nfbnet.org To unsubscribe, change your list options or get your account info for NFBWATLK: http://nfbnet.org/mailman/options/nfbwatlk_nfbnet.org/mamamacbear%40gmail.com _______________________________________________ NFBWATLK mailing list NFBWATLK at nfbnet.org http://nfbnet.org/mailman/listinfo/nfbwatlk_nfbnet.org To unsubscribe, change your list options or get your account info for NFBWATLK: http://nfbnet.org/mailman/options/nfbwatlk_nfbnet.org/mjc59%40comcast.net
