[Rose_City_Chapter] April chapter meeting minutes

[Kirk Wagner]

Thank you Jerry, the April minutes look fine to me. 

Were you able to find out if NFB is still observing White Cane Day in some fashion? Seems like I recall something about it.

Every day we raise the expectations of blind people, because low expectations create obstacles between blind people and our dreams. You can live the life you want; blindness is not what holds you back.
