The big highlights of the presidential release are please do vote if you are able, and please fill out the survey about your voting experience. There is a senior retreat being held virtually by the senior’s division of the NFB. For more details visit NFB.org/seniors. Please keep the NFB up to date on accessibility as you head back to school so the federation can support you as needed. There will be an access technology survey you can take to give them specific information. The independents market has a limited quantity of facemasks, so if you would like your chapter to support this branding effort please give them a call, and there will be shipping costs involved so keep this in mind when you place your chapters order. The theme for this year’s meet the blind month is lived experiences. For more details visit mtbmnfb.org Please vote, and let the NFB know about your voting experience good or bad in a survey which will be sent out on October sixth. Thank you for your time and attention Katie Taylor VP. Southern Oregon chapter <o:p></o:p></p></div></body></html>
