[stylist] Announcement

[EvaMarie Sanchez]

To all members, prospective members and writing enthusiasts alike,

Get a jump on things by joining the Writers’ Division the week before
convention starts. Our June gathering is open to everyone, something that
is usually reserved for members only.

       At this gathering we will be discussing the future of the division.
We want to know what you want out of the division and how we can make it
happen. We will discuss what we have done in the past and how we can make
things current for a new generation of writers (no matter our ages).

       More exciting yet, we will be announcing the winners of the 2017
Writing Contest. This is normally done at the Annual Business Meeting at
National Convention, but this year alone, we will have no representation
there to hold the meeting. Our gathering is in lieu of our normally
expected business meeting. Let’s use it to our advantage and participate in
force. This is a chance for all those who do not regularly attend
convention to be a part of the division planning.

       We want to hear your voices.

       Please join us on the last Sunday of the month, June 25th. We will
be gathering a little earlier to accommodate everyone and to give us plenty
of time to talk. 4:00 Pacific time, 5:00 Mountain, 6:00 Central and 7:00
Eastern.

       The number to call into is (712)432-0460. Once the call connects,
you will be prompted to enter the access code of 568839pound.

Remember, that this is a week before the chaos and excitement that will
take place in Orlando. You could think of it as a warm up for what is to
come or you could look at it as a chance to be a part of history from the
comfort of your own home.

       We, the officers and board members of the Writers’ Division of the
National Federation of the Blind, hope you will join us.

       Stay well while living the lives you want.
