Dear Fellow Federationists:<?xml:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office" />

 

As you know, our Washington Seminar is fast approaching.  On Wednesday, February 3, it is extremely important that you attend the 5:00 p.m. meeting because we will have a special guest.  Congresswoman Debbie Wasserman Schultz of Florida will receive a Distinguished Legislative Service Award for her leadership in securing funding for the Digital Talking Book program of the Library of Congress. Congresswoman Wasserman Schultz is a subcommittee chairperson and Chief Deputy Whip in the United States House of Representatives. Please make a point to attend this meeting and express your sincere appreciation for all that she has done to create opportunity for blind Americans.  Congresswoman Wasserman Schultz is also a cosponsor of the Blind Persons Return to Work Act and the Pedestrian Safety Enhancement Act, and we believe that she will soon sign on as a cosponsor of the Technology Bill of Rights for the Blind.  Please join us in honoring this great supporter and friend of America's blind.

 

If you're not already in Washington on Wednesday but live in the District or in Virginia or Maryland, please make an effort to be at the Holiday Inn Capitol, 550 C Street SW, to attend this special presentation.  If you live in Maryland or can get to the National Center for the Blind in Baltimore, there will be transportation on Wednesday afternoon to the Holiday Inn Capitol for this important gathering.  If you would like to utilize this transportation option, please contact Scott White by calling (410) 659-9314, extension 2231, or e-mailing swhite at nfb.org.  Please let Scott know by the close of business on Monday, February 1, if you plan to use this transportation option.  Transportation will leave the National Center for the Blind promptly at 2:45 p.m. and return to the Center at approximately 8 p.m.  Please be sure to arrive at the Center no later than 2:30 p.m. so that the van(s) can depart on time.  If you will already be at Washington Seminar, please make a point of being in the Columbia Room at 5 p.m.  The gathering will last until approximately 6:30 p.m.  I hope to see you in Washington.

 

Sincerely:

 

Chris Danielsen
