<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>I feel people have forgotten the purpose of NFB;to
provide advocacy pertaining to people who are blind. Since NFB isn't a
charity, we should not get into the business of funding financial assistance for
medical needs such as surgery and/or treatments. Medical charities fund
these purposes. Any member of NFB can also choose to donate to themother
and child from India. Therefore, I vote no.
