[NFBV-Announce] NFBV Fairfax April Event Announcement

[jackibruce6 at gmail.com]

From: Christopher Kristi, Fairfax Chapter

 

Good day and happy April to all the better world builders of the NFB of Virginia,

 

This April we are contemplating the question “What should I do?”

 

For most of us, fate willing, we will never have one of those moments where what we do in the next five minutes is going to make a difference in whether someone else lives or lives well after those five minutes.  But that’s not true for all of us and we all hope that if that moment comes, we will be up to the challenge.

 

What will need doing? 

How will we do it? 

 

That’s what the NFBV of Fairfax would like to help you answer now so that you will be able to answer it when it matters.  And, in celebration of National Poetry Month, we want to do this with Haikus, Sonnets, and a limerick or two.

 

 

Join Christine Faltz Grassman, founder of First Aid Ally, author of First Aid Ally: A Guide for Everyone, for a one-of-a-kind interactive workshop that turns life-saving knowledge into something you can actually remember when it counts.

When:  April 16 7:00 PM
Where: Zoom call, details below

 

In celebration of National Poetry Month, The Fairfax Chapter brings you this session which blends safety, creativity, and community into an experience that is equal parts practical and energizing. You will not merely hear about preparedness; you will build it, shape it, and give it rhythm.

 

Through lively discussion and small-group breakout sessions, participants will:
✨ Explore how we think and respond under stress
✨ Discover how rhythm and simple language sharpen memory
✨ Create short, collaborative poems rooted in real preparedness skills
✨ Share, reflect, and walk away with tools that linger long after the session ends

 

No poetry experience? Perfect. This isn’t about performance, it’s about participation. The environment will be relaxed, welcoming, and fully accessible. 

 

Think of it as preparedness training with a beat … something you can carry in your head, instead of leaving it in the handbook back at your house.

 

Because, in an emergency, your actions are dictated by what you remember.

 

Come ready to think, connect, and create. 

 

For those of us who would love to know more about Christine and her many wonderful works please see her website  <https://www.firstaidally.com> www.firstaidally.com
