<p class="MsoNormal">Hi Everyone, <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">We had an Oregon Disabilities Commission Executive Committee meeting today and planned our next full Commission meeting which will be on Thursday May 11 from 1-4. Someone from DHS will speak, as will a person from ODOT! I know the NFB of
Oregon is very passionate about these two topics, so I want to invite you and others in our affiliate who would be interested to attend this meeting as members of the public. I am also sending this email to Joseph Lowe, a member of the Commission staff so
that he can send you the information for the meeting and discuss anything with you beforehand if that is needed.
<o:p></o:p></p>
