The book, number DB 96188, can be found on NLS BARD. This author’s talk will take place on Monday, August 14, 2023, at 7 pm. All are invited to attend.

Denise Avant was our main presenter, and Denise Brown and Suzanne Turner shared great insights about how they use Robert’s Rules to facilitate effective meetings. Other chapter leaders chimed in with excellent pointers and questions, which made the experience even richer. We did not record this meeting but hope to do it again at a chapter or affiliate meeting where it could be recorded. In the meantime, there is a book on NLS BARD entitled Robert’s Rules in Plain English, book number 53540, that may provide helpful insight into the subject for those who are looking for resources.<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>Happy reading, and we look forward to hearing from you in the Zoom Room on August 14<sup>th</sup>.<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>Sincerely… Carol King-Ries<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>Facilitator, NOBBL Women’s Group<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal> <o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoPlainText>National Federation Of The Blind Of The District Of Columbia Washington, DC is inviting you to a scheduled Zoom meeting.<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoPlainText><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoPlainText>Topic: National Organization of Blind Black Leaders - Black Women’s Group <o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoPlainText>Time: Aug 14, 2023 07:00 PM Eastern Time (US and Canada)<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoPlainText><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoPlainText>Join Zoom Meeting<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoPlainText><a href="https://nfb-org.zoom.us/j/8204086286">https://nfb-org.zoom.us/j/8204086286</a><o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoPlainText><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoPlainText>Meeting ID: 820 408 6286<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoPlainText><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoPlainText>---<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoPlainText><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoPlainText>One tap mobile<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoPlainText>+16468769923,,8204086286# US (New York)<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoPlainText>+16469313860,,8204086286# US<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoPlainText><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoPlainText>---<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoPlainText><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoPlainText>Dial by your location<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoPlainText>• +1 646 876 9923 US (New York)<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoPlainText>• +1 646 931 3860 US<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoPlainText>• +1 301 715 8592 US (Washington DC)<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoPlainText>• +1 305 224 1968 US<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoPlainText>• +1 309 205 3325 US<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoPlainText>• +1 312 626 6799 US (Chicago)<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoPlainText>• +1 689 278 1000 US<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoPlainText>• +1 719 359 4580 US<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoPlainText>• +1 253 205 0468 US<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoPlainText>• +1 253 215 8782 US (Tacoma)<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoPlainText>• +1 346 248 7799 US (Houston)<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoPlainText>• +1 360 209 5623 US<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoPlainText>• +1 386 347 5053 US<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoPlainText>• +1 408 638 0968 US (San Jose)<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoPlainText>• +1 507 473 4847 US<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoPlainText>• +1 564 217 2000 US<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoPlainText>• +1 669 444 9171 US<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoPlainText>• +1 669 900 6833 US (San Jose)<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoPlainText><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoPlainText>Meeting ID: 820 408 6286<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoPlainText><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoPlainText>Find your local number: <a href="https://nfb-org.zoom.us/u/acWranV6QZ">https://nfb-org.zoom.us/u/acWranV6QZ</a><o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoPlainText><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoPlainText>---<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoPlainText><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoPlainText>Join by Skype for Business<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoPlainText><a href="https://nfb-org.zoom.us/skype/8204086286">https://nfb-org.zoom.us/skype/8204086286</a><o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoPlainText><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoPlainText><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoPlainText><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p></div></body></html>
