I understood your motives, Trevor.  Everything's good.  

Let's all focus on getting out there and telling the world that subminimum wages are UNFAIR, DISCRIMINATORY, and IMMORAL!

Oh no,
It was not I personally that was waiting to hear about where we were planning to protest. I just wanted a summary of our protest locations presented to the list for everyone to be able to reference. I’ve been paying close attention and participating in our activity, so I was pretty well aware of how well we were doing. Of course it is quite easy (or should be easy) to contact your respective chapter leadership, or else take matters into your own hands. I was just concerned with those who weren’t completely up to snuff or didn’t have a well-functioning local chapter to turn to, but never the less wanted to get involved locally or not so locally within the state. This was a reaction to some messages that crossed my path. That’s all there is to it.
No harm done, yes?

Hey Terry:

I meant no disrespect to your chapter, and I'm truly happy to see anyone join the cause. If I spoke out of turn I apologize. I only meant that we as entire group need to make sure that we are organized, and on the ball. Which you folks seem to be. From what Trevor had said before, it seemed like he was waiting for the state affiliate to kind of tell him what to do, or at least that was the impression I got. If and it sounds like I was wrong in this case I do apologize, and welcome all to do their own thing after all we are kind of like our national government here. We all make our own rules, but from time to time we have to answer or seek advice from a higher source in this case our state or national affiliate.

You seem to have forgotten  that the Hartford Chapter will be at 80 Town Line Rd., in Rocky Hill this coming Saturday. We also have our house in order too!

Terry

P. S. Glastonbury, Newington, Milford and, of course where our, the Hartford chapter, the  will be in Rocky Hill which makes four sites in Connecticut!

You're correct of course Trevor, however I must point out that the information was out there, it was passed out now for a couple months. Even though my plate is full of personal issues which no one needs or wants to hear about I still made an effort to join the phone conversation, and although again my running a bit behind in my personal life and we're kind of late putting this out. We meaning the South er CT chapter we will be there, I don't believe it was important to know how many of our chapters were joining the protest. I believe it is or was up to each individual chapter to decide to form a protest them selves at the goodwill of their choosing. I don't mean to be rude but it seems to me that we as a group in Connecticut need to get our own chapter's house in order and concentrate on that. Insstead of waiting for our state to guide us I mean after all we're all adults here. Again I do apologize if I came accross rather hard.

Be cool Folks

Interesting we have only three sites of protest and well more than three chapters. Perhaps if this information was widely known earlier, we could have made a tactful effort at covering some other locations. Goodwill shops are really everywhere. Ah well. We still have the chance at reaching out to the media and broader community nearer to us.

Dear Federationists,

As you all know, on Saturday, August 25th, the NFB will be holding informational protests at Goodwill Thrift Stores throughout the country from 11 AM to 1 PM. Here in Connecticut, we will be at three stores:

      2709 Main Street, Glastonbury

      45 Costello Road, Newington

      321 Boston Post Road, Milford

We encourage your participation in these informational protests. However, if you are unable to attend, we encourage you to visit NFB’s Fair Wages website <http://nfb.org/fair-wages> , print a dozen or so copies of our information sheet and distribute it to people in your community: friends, church, doctors, stores, etc. Please help inform the public of this unfair treatment of people with disabilities.

Thank you,

Beth Rival, President

NFB of CT
