Dear NFB River City Chapter Members and Friends:
You know that tomorrow is the first Satuday of the month. You've been
saving the date now. Now come to our regular monthly meeting from 10:30
A.M. TO 12:30 P.M. at the State Capitol, Room 317. Tiffany Manosh will
again chair this meeting.
And the agenda is packed. We'll hear reports on our NFB of California state
convention and our trip to help out our Shasta-Cascade Chapter in Redding
last weekend. We'll schedule another informal chapter coffee/discussion,
and we'll make decisions for a holiday party. And as those of you already
on this list know we'll be coordinating our participation in the most
pivotal transit meetings this year in this region. Cme prepared for much
business!
And consider staying around for lunch afterwards at a nearby restaurant.
It'll be a great opportunity to network and catch up with colleagues and
friends.
If you have questions in the meantime, please reply on-list or call Tiffany
Manosh at (916) 966-8822. Plan to join the chapter tomorrow!
Nathanael T. Wales, President
River City Chapter
National Federation of the Blind
