> In fact, I was so ready, that I was a week ahead. Yeah, I woke up early enough to head down to the Capitol 1 Café, stopped by the Starbucks across the street, and came back and headed upstairs. To my surprise, there was nobody there. I figured I would have heard Tracy or Kirk or some regulars, but it was empty! Why would that be? Well, I was told by the security guy that the meeting was the following week. I looked at my calendar, and sure enough, I have it down for this weekend. But, at least I was prepared for it.
> Unfortunately, I will be attending the Blind Travel Summit in Austin, TX this weekend and will not be here. But, if I can call in, then I can take part that way. It isn’t the same calling into a meeting as it is to attend in person, but I have been traveling some during these weekends.
> I just thought you’d like to hear my funny story about being a full week early for the chapter meeting.

> NFB Belief Statement - The National Federation of the Blind advances the lives of its members and all blind people in the United States. We know that blindness is not the things that defines you or your future. Everyday we raise the expectations of blind people because low expectations create obstacles between blind people and our dreams. Our collective power, determination, and diversity achieve the aspirations of all blind people.
