[Central-md-chapter] Reminder about the Possibilities Fair

[Brenda Mueller]

I think it's a foregone conclusion that addresses should be included for these types of events.  Should the elderly lady just grab a taxi, tell that Joe-blow driver to take her to Bism, and expect to get there in a timely fashion? If you are dealing with seniors who are losing vision, you may be dealing with some people who may never have dealt with the Federation, and Bism's address isn't common knowledge among the general public.  From the viewpoint of the newly blinded, who had to care up to this point? Heck most of the time I don't even care what Bism's address is and hope I never have to know.
