[Community-service] On the "Hill" and in the community.

[Cindy Ray]

That trip is terribly expensive and we are there for the singular purpose of visiting Congress. Of course, some of us could get there early, but the room rates are extravagant, unlike at convention. I guess I'd try to do it if we did that; I'm not sure it would be really popular given the expense.

D and All, After giving this some thought, maybe this division can plan a day of service during the Washington Seminar. This would be a sacrifice for most of us, but well worth it. Share your thoughts, Cheryl

Hi All:
 
  I’m sure many of you are    returning from Washington Seminar having  had a  successful experience educating our lawmakers on the issues that mean the most to us as blind americans, the issues  that when  addressed will get us one step closer to living the lives we want.
 I was contemplating the idea of community service/ voluntarism and  if involvement both  as individuals and as members of the NFB can somehow help those public servants on the “Hill”   gain an understanding of our true capacity and what we need to get to our ultimate end goal?
   thoughts?
   Darian
