[COAGDU] [Colorado-Talk] Great news! All paws on deck!

Fri Sep 17 15:00:20 UTC 2021

Hi, if you are referring to paying dues, you get several benefits. First 
and foremost, you get a voice. This means that as a dues-paying member, 
you get to have a say in how elections go. When you participate in 
electing your leaders, you have a voice. membership is the cornerstone 
of the NFB. While the National Federation of the Blind offers a lot of 
nice things for blind people, it cannot exist without membership.

Second, dues can go toward the overall cost of funding the organization. 
While dues are not a fund-raiser, they can help the local chapter or 
division with a little maintenance. Other organizations have dues that 
people must pay to be members. Think of unions, various clubs, ETC.

I hope this helps.

Respectfully,
