[Ohio-talk] march for independence

Sun Nov 29 19:08:08 UTC 2015

Hello Fellow Federationist's!

Will there be other times for various conference calls taking place? I have another commitment during this time, but would love to promote this cause. Since I work for a blindness related organization, I believe that this would be a great method of sharing the importance of independence.

Thanks!
