[Community-service] Speakers/ National Organizations

[Cheryl Fields]

Hello All,
Lovin' it! I'm thinking maybe we could incorporate most of these thoughts.
Create the resource list for affiliates asking them to do a project at
certain intervals for 1 year

 Prepare to use one of the days Darian mentioned for the next year for
national nfb participation

It will take a committed person to pull this together. We can start
the resource list on this list, send  what we are involved in, brief
description,  with contact information.

Using students is great, this can breathe new life to the organization!
