From blind411 at verizon.net Mon Mar 25 16:57:14 2019 From: blind411 at verizon.net (NAGDU President) Date: Mon, 25 Mar 2019 12:57:14 -0400 Subject: [WAGDU] Please join us in the Cloud for NAGDU's monthly board Meeting, this month to be held on a Saturday, March 30 Message-ID: <00a401d4e32b$ccd24c20$6676e460$@verizon.net> Hello to all, and Happy Spring! The NAGDU Board's monthly meeting will take place on Saturday, March 30, at 8:00 p.m.Eastern. Please make a note of this change from the regular Sunday schedule, which would ordinarily be March 31, to the day prior, Saturday, March 30. We all lead busy lives, and occasionally a different meeting date is necessary. We truly hope you will join us for the meeting. Your feedback and suggestions will help us as we plan for NAGDU's exciting seminar and meeting at nFB's national convention in Las Vegas. We have begun to hold our Board meetings in the Cloud, using the popular Zoom platform. The very important instructions for calling into the meeting follow my signature. There are several ways to access the meeting, so simply find the method that is most convenient for you. Warm regards, Sherrill Sherrill O'Brien, Secretary National Association of Guide Dog Users Inc. (NAGDU) National Federation of the Blind Phone 813-935-0474, cell 813-767-1890 Email Secretary at NAGDU.ORG The National Federation of the Blind knows that blindness is not the characteristic that defines you or your future. Every day we raise expectations because low expectations create barriers between blind people and our dreams. You can live the life you want! Blindness is not what holds you back.
