[Blind-international-students] possible name selections

[Anmol Bhatia]

I want to ecco the thanks to Jan for putting in the hard work in putting a name to together. I think since we are just a special interest group within the NFB for now our name should be something which reflects that.
Something like Friends of International or International and friends. This will indecate that we are a interest group within a organization.

I seldom think about my limitations, and they never make me sad. Perhaps there is just a touch of yearning at times; but it is vague, like a breeze among flowers.
