[André Hill]

Dear Members,

The Virginia Association of Blind Students will be collecting dues for the
upcoming year. Paying dues allows you to vote at our board meeting, vote
during student monthly meetings (when applicable), and sit on the student
board. Dues are $5. You have until 5 minutes before the business meeting
starts to pay due.

Convention Events, that you don't want to miss:

Friday October 28th, 2022

4:00PM to 5:00 PM: Resolutions Committee - Evergreen Room, Deepa Goraya,
Chairperson.

We encourage the participation of all members in setting Federation policy,
and the best way to influence policy is through resolutions. As a
grassroots organization, we serve our movement through collective action,
and such action begins with policy making and debate. Come help shape the
policies of the NFB of Virginia.

5:00 PM to 6:00 PM: Public Meeting on DBVI Divisions, Programs and Services,
Oaks 1 and 2 Ballroom, Susan K. Davis, Policy, and Training Coordinator,
Virginia Department for the Blind and Vision Impaired.

We are grateful that DBVI will hold a public meeting where attendees can
ask questions and speak with agency leadership. DBVI wants to hear from
you, so come and share your thoughts and ideas on how DBVI can better meet
the needs of blind and low vision Virginians. Let your voice be heard.


6:30 PM to 8:30PM: Student Dinner Party and Business Meeting, Presidential
Suite, Room 939, Jacob Ham, President, Virginia Association of Blind
Students.
