face=Arial>Terry:<BR><BR>I'm going to re-post your questions and my responses
to them.<BR><BR>1. How will we get to our respective Good
Will Store? Will vans be provided?<BR>Response: Maybe. Maybe not.
Where would you expect vans to meet us? Were you hoping for them to pick
people up at their houses like school buses?<BR><BR>2. How
will the lumber be procured and who will staple the signs to the lumber?
Surly, you don't expect us to go out and shop for 4 foot pieces of lumber and
staple the signs to the 4ft of lumber. Some of us are totally blind nor do we
have significant others to assist us.<BR>Response: How is eyesight a
requirement for shopping for lumber? Why is vision required to staple
signs to pieces of lumber? I can understand why individuals might not
want to bear the costs of the lumber, but I don't understand why eyesight or
significant others assisting us would be necessary. I've done this kind
of thing before and never needed a significant other to help.<BR><BR>3.
I have a good will store right on Town line Rd., right in back
of Stop&Shop. Is this our protest site?<BR>Response: It is a protest site,
but not necessarily the only one. As the communications from national
have said, we need to be present at all Goodwill stores in the United
States. Yours is most likely not the only one in Connecticut, so not all
Connecticut affiliate protesters would be going to your store...unless it is
the only Goodwill store in Connecticut.<BR><BR>4. Who is
the site coordinator for our site.<BR>Response: Good question. I'm
sure Beth and the rest of the state board are actively looking for people to
take on those roles. If you want to help, offer to help!<BR><BR>5.
Where is our site?<BR>Response: Another good question. I
bet the one right near you is a good one to be your site, but the
communications from national said that we would be protesting at all Goodwill
locations in the United States.<BR><BR>I have not had a planning role in these
protests, but I am quite simply regurgitating information that I have read in
the mass communications from national that we all received. Some of my
responses have simply been philosophical reactions to questions that seem to
underestimate the competence of blind people. We really can perform
these normal tasks if we have the right skills and training.<BR><BR>I hope
that helped.<BR><BR>Yours in Federationism,<BR><BR>Justin

Chapter President<BR><BR>Anil,<BR>Hi, hope this finds you happy and well.<BR>I
have a comment on one of our chapters regarding the upcoming
Goodwill<BR>protest. Dorothy Robinson, Chapter President of our south Central
Oklahoma<BR>Chapter contacted me today to inform me that there was no Goodwill
Thrift<BR><BR>Store in her city. However, she also let me know that her
chapter had all<BR>agreed to take the flyers to each of the respective members
churches to<BR>distribute and educate their city about sub-minimum
wages.<BR>Dorothy also took it upon herself to find a chapter where she will
be on the<BR>weekend that we conduct the protest. Her son and daughter live in
Arlington<BR>TX. Dorothy contacted the Texas Affiliate to find the Arlington
Chapter and<BR>find out where she can help.<BR>Dorothy is a fantastic example
of practicing what we believe and preach I<BR>hope to see her on the news in
Texas!<BR><BR>Jeannie<BR><BR>Jeannie Massay, President<BR>National Federation
