[Nfbwv-talk] Federationists in Huntington are excited to announce Spring Seminar

[Brad Hodges]

Federation Family

Federation spirits are high here in Huntington following our regular 
Chapter Meeting. I must begin by sharing some sad news. The mother of 
our member Barbara James passed away early this morning. She was living 
in Virginia and I know that several members knew her. We extend our 
condolences to Barbara and her entire family.

We are pleased to announce that the NFB Huntington Area Chapter will 
present a TriState seminar this year. Mark Saturday May 11 at the Cabell 
Public Library in down town Huntington on your calendar and plan to be 
with us.

We outlined the schedule at this mornings meeting and all members are 
truly excited by what we plan to offer. We have scheduled both a plenary 
session and 4 topical breakout sessions addressing important issues 
including transportation strategies in the TriState, gaining 
independence and learning the skills of blindness, practical technology 
topics and more. We can discuss specific program items when we are 
together for the Board Meeting next month.

We also note with interest the availability of descriptive movie 
technology now available at the Huntington Mall. In something of a 
departure from our regular Chapter Meeting format, we will attend a 
matinee as a group on Saturday March 23, following a morning work 
session for the Seminar. Our chapter may be relatively small in number 
but we more than make up for it in energy and the willingness of 
everyone to work hard on our projects.
