Please note that Emily Wharton, IDB director, has made herself available for both chapter meetings on Saturday to discuss the issues with the Department of Education I emailed about earlier this week. My understanding is she will be at the Des Moines chapter meeting for sure, and I’m waiting to hear back on Old Capitol. Feel free to join us to get more information about what’s going on with the education of blind children in Iowa! Both chapter meetings are hybrid. Please feel free to reach out if you need information on in person locations. The board meeting is fully virtual. Here are the meeting details. All meetings are using the same Zoom coordinates. <o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>Topic: Old Capitol Chapter meeting<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>Time: Aug 13, 2022 11:00 AM Central Time (US and Canada)<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>Topic: August Des Moines Chapter meeting<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>Time: Aug 13, 2022 02:00 PM Central Time (US and Canada)<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>Topic: August NFBI board meeting<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>Time: Aug 14, 2022 07:00 PM Central Time (US and Canada)<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>Join Zoom Meeting<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><a href="https://zoom.us/j/7941099792?pwd=UHRXTEZLamFoNzA1djg1dEdpQVl3UT09">https://zoom.us/j/7941099792?pwd=UHRXTEZLamFoNzA1djg1dEdpQVl3UT09</a><o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>Meeting ID: 794 109 9792<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>Passcode: 6324692<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>One tap mobile<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>+16469313860,,7941099792# US<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>Dial by your location<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal> +1 312 626 6799 US (Chicago)<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>Meeting ID: 794 109 9792<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>Find your local number: <a href="https://zoom.us/u/aA299YjRc">https://zoom.us/u/aA299YjRc</a><o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>Join by Skype for Business<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><a href="https://zoom.us/skype/7941099792">https://zoom.us/skype/7941099792</a><o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal style='margin-left:.5in'><span style='font-family:"Arial",sans-serif'>Scott Van Gorp, President<br>National Federation of the Blind of Iowa<br>Phone: 515-720-5282<br></span><a href="mailto:svangorp@nfbi.org"><span style='color:#0563C1'>Email</span></a><o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><a href="http://www.nfbi.org/"><i><span style='font-family:"Arial",sans-serif;color:#0563C1'>Website</span></i></a><i><span style='font-family:"Arial",sans-serif'> <br></span></i><a href="https://www.facebook.com/National-Federation-Of-the-Blind-Of-Iowa-372681823082570/posts"><i><span style='font-family:"Arial",sans-serif;color:#0563C1'>Facebook</span></i></a><i><span style='font-family:"Arial",sans-serif'> <br></span></i><a href="https://twitter.com/nfb_iowa"><i><span style='font-family:"Arial",sans-serif;color:#0563C1'>Twitter</span></i></a><i><span style='font-family:"Arial",sans-serif'> <br>Live the life you want.<br></span></i><br>The National Federation of the Blind of Iowa is a community of members and friends who believe in the hopes and dreams of the nation’s blind.
